I've debugged enough code including filesystems far more complex than
ubifs so you can happily trust my judgement.  Even if not you can simply
switch on your brain and notice that a runtime/boottime switch is always
more convenient than a compile-time switch, and the only reason against
it would be a performance penalty.
