If you're uneasy about it, you should keep it in for a while longer. Please don't rush on my account. In a few months many distros should have upgraded to 3.7 and read the warning notices, so it makes sense to wait a bit. On the other hand, I don't think include is used a lot even now. And, if someone has to link in files from other locations, they can use symbolic links. I looked at a few of the more popular distros (Ubuntu, Slackware, OpenSUSE, Fedora, Gentoo and Arch) to see how they are set up. I pulled down the i386 installation CDs, unpacked the root file systems or tar-files and grepped /etc/mod* for "include". Out of these, only OpenSUSE uses it, and then just to ensure that some files are read in a specific order. Researching this mail probably took me a lot longer than what it would take them to adapt to the new scheme. Oh, and if you have two conf-files that include one another, the infinite recursion will cause modprobe to run out of stack space and crash. It's not a problem in the real world of course, but it needs fixing nonetheless.
