Because your use case is not standard. The normal situation for users |
| 31 |
with kmod installed (and you have already kmod installed, since in |
| 32 |
your --pretend run appears as to be reinstalled) is for them to use |
| 33 |
kernel modules. The developers cannot handle every possible |
| 34 |
combination of configurations, so defaults are set for the least weird |
| 35 |
cases, or the common case even. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Your setup is not the norm; therefore, it depends on you to keep it as |
| 38 |
you like it. |
