Hi,
But to tell the users to discuss this upstream is bad advice. This is a situation where a distribution should take corrective action by reverting this configuration. This would add value and remove some useless code from the kernel.
No. If you want a distribution whose maintainers think it is a good think to "correct" upstream decisions, you should use not Arch. I'm using Ubuntu at work and often I stumble upon bugs which are fixed already upstream (and so in Arch), as in Ubuntu/Debian-land these things are discussed and maybe a fix could break other things etc, while something is still unusable.
