This is true, but if you are going to make a report, make a
report, don't advocate changing something which works for
most as it stands. From the subject, one got the idea that
people wanted to do some willy-nilly rearranging of the
configure options. The real issue here is that you really
should *not* be copying 2.4 .config's over to a 2.5 tree.
That way you'll be forced to go through all the options and
get the proper "default" options for your platform enabled
automatically.
