what i mean is to change generic kernel in FreeBSD releases.
my generic kernel will satisfy more users, and in most cases there is only
need to rebuild one or a few modules with some added options.
i think kernel modules was invented exactly for this. and loader.conf is
an excellent thing!
if kernels have to keep most things in it, so why having modules at all?
