[RFC] shipping kernels with default modules?

Hi guys,

Has there been any further thought as of late about shipping kernels
with modules only by default, rather than monolithic kernels?

I tried this experiment a couple years ago and besides a little
trickery with ACPI module loading, it worked out fine.

Is there any reason we aren't doing this at the moment? Eg by having a
default loader modules list populated from the kernel config file?
