Unless I understand how the kernel does stuff there is no penalty for having unused modules (except the size of the kernel that needs to be loaded). Keeping in mind that unless I am not reading stuff corectly fusefs-kmod is the only FS related module that is not in the base system. Since any fundamental changes in the generic FS API seems to break fusefs-kmod, and cause some very nasty effects that are almost impossible to trace to fusefs-kmod (machine freezes so no output or core dump) it seems to make sense to move it to the base system (after all we already do this with third party FS code like x/zfs) by moving it we force it to always compile instead of breaking (of course there can be other issues but as the FS API is updated fusefs-kmod is also updated to use the new API)
