I don't particularly like this, if it discourages desktop distributions
from building RC_CORE.  The whole point of RC_CORE in kernel was to have
the remote controllers bundled with TV and DTV cards "just work" out of
the box for end users.  Also the very popular MCE USB receiver device,
shipped with Media Center PC setups, needs it too.

Why exactly do you need it set to "No"?

Andy
