At what point do we reexamine everything that is done in driver discs in
terms of what is absolutely required, versus 'what we have always done'?

For example, the 'feature' of unloading all drivers to then load them in an
interactive order seems to mainly be there to preserve the fallacy that
storage device names are meaningful. Is that the only reason that it's
required? If so, is that feature worth an entirely separate interactive
infrastructure? Why does it need to be interactive, when it could
theoretically be done via kickstart commands, or commandline operations?

Bill, playing devil's advocate
