Why we don't switch (in 10.0) to minimal GENERIC and all driver loaded
as modules (/boot/loader.conf)? This is reduce memory (by easy unloading unneed
drivers/modules), space (by reducing GENERIC+symbols size about 100M),
space on install media too (100M + compressed 100M), build time (not
need to build some modules twice) and add ability to easy
update/bugfix modules w/o reboot.

After last updates to bootloader loading many modules enought fast.

I already switched (for me) to this setup and it's fine for me.
