After the scheduled removal of MAC80211_RC_SIMPLE only
MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID and MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_NONE are
left as choices.

Does MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_NONE have any userbase serious enough to
justify all the constructs made for this case or could we simply
always enable MAC80211_RC_PID?

You can currently only get away living without it if you are just
using iwl3945 or iwl4965 as they provide their own rate control
algorithms. In the future if other vendor drivers are added with their
own rate control algorithm this list grows. Disabling PID will save
you some space only on some embedded platforms. Although currently its
not evident people would do this I do see this being a reasonable
option to keep around for later.

I agree with Luis. There is a need for MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_NONE,
please do not remove it.
