Hi Matheusz, Thank you , so probably I forgot about this discussion. Sorry Xiang for raising this Discussion, but I thought it wasn't discussed before.
Anyway I think we need to see how much it will increase in Flash/RAM. If it increases "a lot" (more than 700 bytes), maybe we should keep this config and just make it default Y, because people could use NuttX on small microcontrollers that could be left behind with this change. This is part of the "The Inviolable Principles of NuttX: All Users Matter", especially that part: - *Hobbyists are valued users of the OS including retro computing hobbyists and DIY “Maker” hobbyists.* In the past we already did drastic modifications that increased NuttX size and now we are trying to figure out how to fix what we did.
