Actually, the kernel modules were not bogus given the requirement that we not have a kernel linker because of anti-bloat sentiment, and the fact that they are 8 years old. At the time, they were comparable to the state-of-the-art SunOS techmnology (upon whose design I based their functionality and command line tools). Also, we had kernel modules long before Linux; if anything, FreeBSD played cath-up to NetBSD, since NetBSD was the first BSD to integrate my LKM code.
