No matter which "configuration" I select (is a 4 user config ever really optimal for *any* usage???), I need the same controllers and virtual devices on my machine, regardless of how many vnodes I allow to be active at one time. The config needs to be seperated into "machine" and "usage" portions, IMO. Maybe adding the ability to use #include (or equivalent) is really the thing to do, instead.
