This seems confusing, could you elaborate on why such scheme is a good thing?
I think the idea is totally broken. At first, Adrian comments that changing the layout of structs based upon a config option is broken, then he proposes a config option that does nothing except change the layout of structures. The current situation is perfectly fine.
