    You're not understanding again.

    I'm talking about people who _explicitly_ load the zImage at a different
    address to which the decompressed image ends up. With AUTO_ZRELADDR=y
    their setup will break unless they stop that behaviour, which takes
    away one of the advantages of using the zImage format.
