Hey, Linux has about 90 boolean config options (guessed, not counted).

If poor Linus has to combine all 2^90 config options (my calculator
can't display that number) and test them, don't you think we would
still be waiting for 0.99.10?

(Of cause: he has a bloody fast Alpha machine now - but is it really
that fast?).
