    What does it solve? It defaults to auto and then you still need to solve
    the problem of figuring out whether it's safe to use it or not.

    The command line option is not a solution per se. It's the last resort
    when the logic which decides whether IMS can be used or not fails to do
    the right thing. Nothing more.

    We clearly have outlined what needs to be done and you can come up with
    as many magic bullets you want, they won't make the real problems go
    away.

    Thanks,

    tglx
