It seems noone noticed that CONFIG_UID16 was accidentially always disabled in the latest -mm kernels.

Is there any reason against removing it completely?

Yes, it breaks backwards-compatilbity for not even that old binaries.

There's not way we're ever going to remove it.


You are right.

Sorry, this was a dumb idea

The question is, did you prove that (a) the people who need it are smart enough to set it, or (b) the people who need it are not testing -mm kernels.
