I don't remember if I thought it would prevent removal, or if it was just the only thing I could do to signal that removing it would be a bad idea (albeit of relatively little consequence since it can't be built as a module). suppress_bind_attrs didn't exist back then. :-) In any case, Acked-by: Scott Wood <o...@buserror.net> -Scott
