True, but abusing EMBEDDED for "only do that if you know what you are doing and if it breaks, you have to keep the pieces" is not good either. Some other places that seem to fall into the same category are IPX_INTERN ("...This might break existing applications...") which is neither EMBEDDED nor EXPERIMENTAL or RMW_INSNS ("...It is very likely that this will cause serious problems on any Amiga...") that is dependent on ADVANCED.
Anyway, perhaps I should just select EMBEDDED although I don't have a small system (though a 6 year old 1Ghz K7 with 1GB mem might be considered small by some people these days :-), and ignore all the other options that pop up through this.
Best, Norbert
