Good to know. Yesterday I talked with Eric Biederman about it and he
said to having it default to 'y' as it really does not change much in
the kernel. Looking at the defconfigs including CHECKPOINT_RESTORE they
all set it to yes.

I will send a patch upstream to remove CONFIG_EXPERT in a first step
with you all on CC.

Any ideas where to send the patch to? All persons which
get_maintainer.pl returns?
