For now, yes.

I think the "crazy users" reports might be triggered sooner with stable
updates than from your tree as well, so this might be a early-warning
type system. I am pretty sure at least one "distro" has enabled it in
their kernel already as well.

But if this starts triggering a bunch of warnings, and they are causing
problems, I'll drop it (and recommend you revert it in your tree too.)

I wanted to be "warning compatible" here for now to ensure the backports
were working properly.

thanks,
