That's because we didn't have the "select INPUT if VT" yet..
Anyone, can we at least get a different option for this thingy then? CONFIG_EMBEDEDDED is even more wrong in this context than in the old one.
What about two new options to replace the old CONFIG_EMBEDDED?
- CONFIG_AUNT_TILLIE - for this kind of shoot yourself in the foot protection
and
- CONFIG_NONSTD_ABI - for the original sense of a kernel so limited that parts of the usual userland ABI may disappear
