Quota support in GENERIC

[Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim]

Hi all,

Is there any technical reason why quota support is not included in GENERIC 
kernel or at least be made a loadable module? I know it's not hard to recompile 
the kernel but why the hassle of doing that when a module or built-in feature 
can be included?

I would like to utilize freebsd-update binary patching mechanism for all the 
boxes I maintain but it only supports GENERIC kernel. I don't have a dedicated 
build machine and most boxes are located offsite so having a binary update can 
really help cut down on the tangible and intangible costs.

It is my opinion after using FreeBSD for quite some time that quota is an 
essential feature that should be part of the GENERIC kernel.

I hope I can get a good explanation for this.
