Where?
The second message in this thread, according to my reader, from Zan
Lynx. Another from Utz Lehmann a few minutes ago.

Removing any such option was not the objective of this thread, just lifting
4K stacks from debug and making it the default.
True, but your messages are reading as advocacy for removing the 8k
option. I'm saying that's a bad idea. If I misunderstood your
position, then my bad.
People fortunate enough to
use workloads where some piece of crap code by accident works more often
with the current shared 8K stacks then it does with the unshared 4K stacks
can then still nicely not select it (or fix the code if possible).
If they even realize that it's the cause of the problem. In the
meantime, we're generating more bug reports to lkml. As the general
opinion is that the ones getting received now aren't getting enough
attention (see regression tracking threads), setting a default that is
known to break setups in hard to debug ways seems counterproductive.
