I thought about it, but I do not like CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL as a concept. I seem to recall a few instances when it was practically required, because some necessary driver was covered by it, and so users ran it always-on. AFAIK, both Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Beta have it enabled for that reason. We can try it, certainly, to see if it helps.

This is probably a cure worse than the disease.
