:Come on you guys, this is silly! Who cares whether VIRTUAL_MEM or
:PHYSICAL_MEM is the default? Just have it be user selectable,
:ala Fastmemfirst and nofastmem. That way, you can run a program,
:and if it doesn't like virtual memory, you can reboot and select
:VirtualMemLast or whatever...

	I think everyone is agreed that that would be even worse!  You can't
use select something like that.  But I agree... which flag is used is just
a minor convenience and the one that provides the most compatibility is the
one that should be used (gee, guess which one that is?  hint:  V)
