hmm, interesting ... ;-)

for sure I also want to decrapify my kernel-config ...

To disable namespaces I would have to set CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y ... correct?

This is rather counterintuitive to me, as my main workstation is far
from an embedded or small system (ok, not compared to the
4096-cpu-clusters in http://xkcd.com/619/ , but compared to, for
example, my embedded ALIX-PC I use as fw/router/something ...).

So you suggest I set CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y and in turn get several new
options/defaults to choose and get right or wrong ... ?

;-)

I am quite sure to have at least *some* crap in my config as I tend to
always do something like

zcat /proc/config.gz >> /usr/src/linux-new-shiny-version/.config
make oldconfig

....

This gives me expected results and a "it boots OK" experience, getting
rid of unused crap is another issue, yes.

I wonder which EMBEDDED options would help me ...
