The laziness factor and the correctness factor. :)
*None* of the other architectures, including x86, enable many of the
options turned on in the latest Alpha defconfig. Several options are
kernel-hacking-only options, or options that Configure.help recommends
be disabled.
IMHO it is not correct to enable many of these options in preparation
for the release of stable/production version 2.2.0.
As for laziness, it's a PITA to disable all those options when testing
from a fresh 'make mrproper'.
Why do I care? I want to see Alpha arch be as solid, stable,
dependable, and correct as the x86 arch (if not more so <g>)
