These "debloat guys" are fast :-).
I was just preparing my build-system (which I normally use to
debianize linux-next kernels).
Any other recommendation for kernel-config options?
For example:
linux-next has already CONFIG_NET_SCH_CHOKE (but I have unset it).
Which commits are in debloat-testing GIT but not in linux-next tree?
Are you planning debloat feature for 2.6.39?
