Well, CONFIG options with "negative" meaning (i.e. when they _disable_
functionality instead of enabling it) are a bit harder to grok
in practice, when you read or write the code:

SKIP_SINGLE_USER(
blah;
blah;
blah;
)

actually means "include this code for multiuser compilation".
It doesn't look obvious - there is a "SKIP".
