That seems like a bad assumption.  There are many features that are made 
available in GENERIC (or via module) in which it is not assumed will be 
used by everyone.

I thought the general trend was to get away from requiring everyone to 
recompile their kernel to configure their box.

It's not a big deal to me, since I rebuild my world anyways.  But I 
suspect this question will come up semi-frequently since sysinstall 
explicitly asks you if you want the machine to be a nfs client.
