What about kernel "optimize for size"?

I'm having a hard time understanding the thinking of the FC developers
regarding the kernel "Optimize for size" option.
Earlier 2.6.x kernels had this disabled, then they enabled it for a while, now
it's disabled in current FC4 kernels. Meanwhile, the current RHEL4 kernel
does enable the "Optimize for size" option, albeit with earlier compiler
(GCC v3.4.4) and kernel (2.6.9. + patches) version.
What's going on here? Does the value of this option change with differing
kernel versions? How does one determine empirically whether this option
should be enabled or not?
