Wouldn't have building a config(8) that checked for dependencies a smarter
and simpler mechanism?  This would have allowed us to keep GENERIC as-is and
not violate POLA.  Apologies if I missed the discussion -- but the
signal-to-noise ratio has been quite high on -stable (and -current) through
the 5.x series.

For Brett -- the LINT kernel is still around -- but it needs to be generated
by hand (since it pulls in platform-specific sections).  Try a "make LINT"
in /usr/src/sys/<arch>/conf.  Perhaps this should be part of buildworld and
the release procedure so that the proper LINT kernel is available "out of
the box".
