John, Leo,

> You want the config change to be part of the kernel update patch, and just on the x86_64 config? Or should it be a separate patch just changing that line in the config?

Linux kernel updates do tend to include a lot of CONFIG_ changes, but these are implied to be part of the update process (i.e., running 'make oldconfig' and making some choices).

This change isn't that.

MLMs such as Mailman rewrite the 'From' header so's not to [appear to] impersonate sender domains and get blackballed as spammers.
