Got it.  Thank you.  On my workstations, where resources are
plentiful, I suppose it doesn't matter much to have all of the kernel
modules built and installed, but on resource-scant or single-purpose
machines (ie firewall/router), it seems that it would be somewhat
significant to exclude them.  Others' feedback?
