Can you prove "Under all uses, circumstances and code requirements we will do fine with 4K stacks today and tomorrow" ? How will deeply nested function calls, longer call chains etc. be solved by kmalloc()?

My point wasn't that reducing stack will make code much more complex. My point was some type of functionality might validly require complex code which requires more stack - there are capable and affordable machines to solve such problems and all we are doing with 4kB stacks is that preventing it.
Again - what is the pressing need to remove the "8Kb Stack _Option_"? What problem does it solve on 64 bit arches?
