Let's not go there.
Let's not go there in a big way.
I'm all for a few simple questions in config that disable stuff. Sounds like
disabling the entire applet is what we want. (Hey, if they don't want /proc
they give up a lot.)
(I also want to do a big switch to disable --long-options as well, although
that needs some thought because some options like tar --exclude can only be
selected via long options...)
