It's impossible for the GENERIC > kernel though to satisfy everyone, for various reasons. what i mean is to change generic kernel in FreeBSD releases. my generic kernel will satisfy more users, and in most cases there is only need to rebuild one or a few modules with some added options. i think kernel modules was invented exactly for this. and loader.conf is an excellent thing! if kernels have to keep most things in it, so why having modules at all?
