Thank you very much for considering kernel bloat here. It's this exact
kind of tiny bloat that has caused FreeBSD to blow up through "death
by a thousand cuts".

Anything that we can keep from growing the kernel size is going to
make it easier to embed on smaller devices - and there's many, many
more embedded targets out there these days versus "PCs" (or macs. :-)
