    And one of the arguments I had for making it dependent on EXPERIMENTAL
    instead of enabling it unconditionally was:

    - it's less tested (there might be miscompilations in some part of the
      kernel with some supported compilers)

    -Os has it's benefits on some systems, so it shouldn't be totally hidden
    under EMBEDDED. OTOH, it's less tested, so only people who know what
    they are doing should use it (EXPERIMENTAL plus help text).
