If the only effect of an unnecessaryly enabled option are a few kB
wasted space, this isn't a big problem in most situations.

If it's easy to accidentially disable an important option, it's good to
protect users against doing so.

People who _really_ need the space simply enable EMBEDDED to disable
such an option.
