From Porter Handbook:

> When describing options, view it from the perspective of the user: "What functionality does it change?" and "Why would I want to enable this?" Do not just repeat the name. For example, describing the NLS option as "include NLS support" does not help the user, who can already see the option name but may not know what it means. Describing it as "Native Language Support via gettext utilities" is much more helpful.

Maybe the description should say "Enable Address Space Layout
Randomization support" or "Enable Address Space Randomization" if the
former is too long.
