is it possible to have (V)FAT support later?

Yes, if a driver is written for it (something which I eventually intend
to do), then it will be implemented. At this time, I am focusing my
efforts on cleaning the cruft out. Since one of the less emphasized
goals of ELKS is to be an easy-to-understand kernel for educational
purposes, removing these junky items cluttering the menus and code will
help with that process in many ways. For me personally, I find the
existence of options to compile in features that literally DO NOT EXIST
to be very annoying. When a FAT filesystem driver is being written, the
menu option for compiling it in will be added back as well.
From what I understand, everyone now working on ELKS is fairly new to
the project, or has not worked with it actively for quite some time. We
need to be able to see where we are so we know where to go, without
having to sift through false positives like "elksfs" and "VFAT" that are
in reality non-existent or might as well be rendered the same.
In summary: let me clean the code up first, then we'll worry about a FAT
filesystem implementation. :-)
