For your entertainment, here are the usage numbers from the linux-2.6.17
kernel:
kilobyte (-i) 82
kibibyte (-i) 2
megabyte (-i) 98
mebibyte (-i) 0
gigabyte (-i) 32
gibibyte (-i) 0
KB 1151
kB 407
KiB 181
MB 3830
MiB 298
GB 815
GiB 17
So I remain unconvinced.
Of course, your general point is a good one. If there are actually
systems using this, it might be worth considering. But if not, then
we're just going to confuse people.
Is it worth bothering about the small deviation, if 10000 was meant, but
10k gives 10240 buffers? Isn't it quite common that systems round config
values to the next sensible value anyway?
