This is interesting ... I was under the impression that the idea of having hte kernel dynamically load things was more than just a kernel space-saver, it was supposed to be a way to have one set of code be able to adapt to any user's machine environment, even if it changes on the fly. Your statement makes me think that you intend that the road ahead holds modules that are customized in such a way that no such real portable adaptability is in our future.
