I agree that RTEMS should move toward the method that I prefer.

But to minimize the number of changes that Vipul makes that need to be reviewed (by both himself and others) I think he should just change the "#define OPTION 1" to "#define OPTION".  The RTEMS style guide can be updated to prefer the "#if" over "#ifdef" directive and additional changes can be made in the future.

If the additional changes fall within the scope of what Vipul is working on now ("Updated Legacy code") then I definitely think it should be changed to be done the way that I like.
