Or simply, sites so big can care for their own kernel builds most
probably, or seek for commercial support.
Why limit it so low? If we're thinking about going big, well, GO BIG.
Users of Fedora want to support these systems out-of-the-box so they can get an
idea if their systems work. Stopping at 512 just seems too low these days.
We're talking about saving a very small amount of memory by not going to 4096 ..
