	Just goes to show - we all want it different!  Maybe I'm just too new,
but from that perspective it looks that the way to test a kernel is to
run it, and the easiest way to do that is default it.  All it takes is a
reboot and a down-arrow key press if it is a bad kernel or otherwise
unwanted.

	Guess we need that configurable option!
