Hey guys,

I was examining the logs on my 32-bit machine tonight and noticed the following:

It seems that the "-y" option is obsolete and might spam the logs. I think we should try to address this in the next cycle, although this cycle wouldn't be bad because then users wouldn't report the warning to us repeatedly in 8.4.

I'm not sure what the best approach is here though.
