And this will buy us what, other than lack of flexibility?
The "data" options already are the default when available, I think
(if not, I have no objection to making them so). That does not
equate to saying we should remove access to the other options.
Your argument that they are useless only holds up in a perfect
world where there are no hardware bugs and no kernel bugs ...
and last I checked, we do not live in such a world.
