Re: [PATCH 1/3] WAN Kconfig: change "depends on HDLC" to "select"

Tough, the kernel community has voted against you.

It makes far more sense to include a driver during kernel configuration, and
have that driver pull in its libraries via 'select'.  The lame alternative
requires developers to know which libraries they need BEFORE picking their
drivers, which is backwards and requires legwork on the part of the kernel
developer.

Jeff, there was never anything to "vote" about! There is no 
autoconfiguration, kernel configuration isn't ready for Aunt Tilly and 
select is no substitute for it...
