I understand that guides often refer to boot loader configuration as the path of least resistance. However, if this is going to be enabled by default, I think it generally makes more sense for that to be done in the Debian kernel packaging (which is generally in a better position to determine what makes for good defaults for the kernel's behaviour), so I'm reassigning this bug there. (I currently have no opinion on the change itself.) Thanks, -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
