I don't think that anyone would argue with that.  The current work
with devfs and LKMs does indeed appear to be going in that general
direction, and I wouldn't even be surprised to see userconfig
splitting into the fabled and someday-to-come 3 stage boot and out of
the kernel entirely.  There are a lot of good reasons besides 4MB
residency to do all of these things.

Sigh..  Time!  Time!  We need to get more of it somehow.. :-)
