Guys, could you lay off whatever the fuck you are smoking? And I mean everybody involved.
* autoconfig is part of ESR's wet dream. Ignore him and he'll go away. * Aunt Tillie and her magical mistery whorehouse <<--->> * performance problems with modules are real, need to be solved and can be solved. * disabling module loading doesn't buy any security. * it's easy to make irrevertible disabling modules _after_ boot. * initramfs is independent from modules * it is _not_ initrd or an analog * it doesn't involve a shitload of extra files * it removes tons of crap from kernel * it allows to simplify build process and get rid of quite a few sources of bugs, _if_ performance problems with modules are solved
Now could we fscking drop these threads? Or at least take care to separate myths from reality before posting more crap.
