Maybe the explanation in question could be added somewhere, either in
the help text of CONFIG_HWMON, or somewhere under Documentation/, or on
the lm-sensors.org wiki? I expect the question to be asked more
frequently once the default changes upstream, and I would like avoiding
wasting developer time replying again and again. Having the possibility
to point users to a clear explanation would be very pleasant.
