For the record, it is _literally_ sitting in our "nice to have" category.

On the ubuntu EC2 image, /lib/modules/$(uname -r) is 24M + 5.2M vmlinuz +
1.1M in /lib/firmware. Total package size is 32M on disk. And 5.9M initrd.

CoreOS is bigger, with 33M in /lib/modules and 5.2M in lib/firmware, and a
/19M vmlinuz.

Which may just go to show that _calling_ yourself ultra-minimal and focused
is actually more important than _being_ that.
