That "pretty firm consensus" makes sense to me. But please post that
link, in this thread, if you ever stumble on it.
(Side note: I do think the CONFIG_ prefix is too generic.
And I think it would have been easier if the Kconfig symbols themselves
would have kept that prefix. They used to have it in 2.4 and earlier, I
seem to remember. I don't know why that was changed.
But there's little we can do about these two things now , anyhow.)
