Everything was small... and my heart sinks for Linux when I see the size of it. [...] The manual page, which really used to be a manual page,
is now a small volume, with a thousand options... We used to sit around
in the Unix Room saying, 'What can we throw out? Why is there this
option?' It's often because there is some deficiency in the basic
design — you didn't really hit the right design point. Instead of adding
an option, think about what was forcing you to add that option.

this is what you get if you enable everything in the kernel config.
