I would still stand by that consensus. If there are protocol/interface
types that we care about supporting, then we should support them correctly
with a configuration option. Otherwise, it is dead code. The fact that
busybox is all rolled into one with a nice menu configuration system makes
it silly in my mind to ever need to go out of your way to turn on other
defines.
