I don't know that this is really a big enough win to be worthwhile...
especially as the 128kb of dmesg has been handy to me in the past given
the amount of verbosity from some of the kernel these days.
Seconded. It's not enough of a saving /and/ reduces the value of having
the ringbuffer in the first place if data you want is never there.
There's a lot of noise to deal with - arguably that could be reduced,
but that's not something to be solved in Fedora directly.
Personally, I think kernel config is one of the last places to cleanup
after regular apps are taken care of.
