And one of the arguments I had for making it dependent on EXPERIMENTAL
instead of enabling it unconditionally was:

- it's less tested (there might be miscompilations in some part of the
kernel with some supported compilers)

-Os has it's benefits on some systems, so it shouldn't be totally hidden
under EMBEDDED. OTOH, it's less tested, so only people who know what
they are doing should use it (EXPERIMENTAL plus help text).
