Good thinking. My rule of thumb has been to compile-in everything that |
| 7 |
has to be present on every run and everything else as modules. It |
| 8 |
doesn't allow for the case you mention though. I think I prefer yours. |

(I once wanted to remove a module from the kernel for some reason, but |
| 11 |
it wouldn't unload. Being rash, I forced it, thereby completely wrecking |
| 12 |
the kernel and forcing a power cycle. So that time I might just as well |
| 13 |
have had whatever it was compiled in :-( .) |
