:arc4random is 686 bytes in my latest build. This is so far in the
:noise as to be not worth bothering with, imho. We have too many
:config options as it is.

686 bytes of trivially optionable code is not in the noise. If it
were 20 bytes, or 200 bytes I wouldn't care. 686 is starting to get
up there, though. Our kernels are already getting rather large. For
the device market the magic number is 2MB and 1MB. For floppy support
the magic number is around 1MB. Even with compression floppy support
is starting to get thin -- 686 bytes (300 compressed) becomes
significant.
I'm not sure I understand your comments in regards to NFS. NFS is
optionable (and for BOOTP to work it's required, obviously).
