When did you ask for that? Perhaps I missed it.
The modularity is part of the basis of the redesign, so I couldn't easily remove that. Removing the compression and encryption support is trivial though (one file each, plus Makefile & Kconfig entries - no other modifications needed). Userspace splash - well, just don't compile and install that userspace component - suspend2 will keep working quite happily without any userspace app to do a nice display (it will still do printks, so you won't be flying completely blind).
As for the freezer, Rafael doesn't need to persuade me at all. I just need to find the time to do what he requested.
