Subject: [2.6 patch] don't allow users to set CONFIG_BROKEN=y
Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 18:35:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060106173547.GR12131@stusta.de> (raw)

Do not allow people to create configurations with CONFIG_BROKEN=y.

The sole reason for CONFIG_BROKEN=y would be if you are working on 
fixing a broken driver, but in this case editing the Kconfig file is 
trivial.

Never ever should a user enable CONFIG_BROKEN.
