Subject: Confusing olddefault prompt for Z3FOLD
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 12:08:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9459.1461686910@turing-police.cc.vt.edu> (raw)

Saw this duplicate prompt text in today's linux-next in a 'make oldconfig':

Low density storage for compressed pages (ZBUD) [Y/n/m/?] y
Low density storage for compressed pages (Z3FOLD) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) ?

I had to read the help texts for both before I clued in that one used
two compressed pages, and the other used 3.

And 'make oldconfig' doesn't have a "Wait, what?" option to go back
to a previous prompt....

(Change Z3FOLD prompt to "New low density" or something? )
