The way I see it, if you're frobbing something central enough to
matter, then you should statically compile all modules into your
kernel.  Once people are actually using custom kernels, there's little
point in having mandatory (for that configuration) functionality not
be compiled in.  We went around this back in '93-'94 with the first
loadable module implementation.
