What the hell did you drink today, Bill? Basically what you're suggesting is that Fedora move to a kmod model for everything. Which means you'd have to install all of them by default anyway or the kernel team would be swamped with bugs like "I installed Fedora and my random USB device doesn't work!" Seriously, no. There are 3 kernel people. There's no way we have time to sit around closing bugs with stuff like "Install kernel-module-foo". > Basically: it's hard, but the only way we're going to get to a > reasonably-small minimal image, so if that's important (and I believe it > is), it's something Fedora should invest resources in.
