That's the case for 99% of the features and semantics we have:
by definition a single-purpose device uses only a small sub-set
of an infinite purpose OS, right?
Still we only modularize semantics out if they easily fit into
some existing plug-in/module concept, if the feature is arguably
oddball that a sizable portion of people want to disable, or if
it makes notable sense for size reasons. To me it looked
distinctly silly to complicate things for such a small piece of
code.
I doubt Kees would mind modularizing it, but it would be nice to
get VFS maintainer feedback in the:
{ 'you are crazy, over my dead body' ... 'cool, merge it' }
continuous spectrum of possible answers.
Thanks,
Ingo
