Modularity is not only about reloading modules (although this can be useful for developers in particular.) It's also about enabling many features in a generic distribution kernel and each feature only gets loaded/used on the hardware which needs it. This is why, as a distribution kernel maintainer, I keep complaining when I see boolean options which might easily be tristates. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
