    Well, that sort-of depends on which 'embedded' board you're talking
    about really. And the trade-off between the work needed for a hacked-up
    1 off, the space that could be saved by doing this, and the space that
    could be saved elsewhere. Perhaps on the embedded_in_my_fridge machine
    it might make sense, but not ever embedded device is quite so tiny and
    strapped for space.
