Yes, I realized how long it was about half a second after hitting "send".

Although I didn't really think it through at the time, even now that I
do it's not entirely clear who should have been trimmed, either.

In general lkml tradition is to not drop people from the Cc: list unless
you're really sure they're not interested, and my suggestion to rename the
CONFIG_ option is something that really wants multiple people's opinions.

Do you think it's borderline (and I'll think harder in future), or
am I misjudging and I was *clearly* over the line?
