Nope. I'm just taking the viewpoint that users shouldn't be artificially
restricted from doing so. I know this isn't the case right now, and the
proposed modules being built-in are fairly harmless, but I'm raising
this now before users can't build their own graphics drivers or whatever
else they would like to add to their system, based on choice.
