Hi again

Looking back through mailing list I found only one big thread about advantages 
and disadvantages of kernel modules and still have questions about it.
 
Now with upgrading from 5.1-current to 5.2-current because of trying if usb 
subsystem still broken or not on my laptop, I decide to build a big part of 
kernel as modules. I remove many devices from kernel putting'em into 
loader.conf:

bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp"
splash_bmp_load="YES"
vesa_load="YES"
acpi_load="YES"
daemon_saver_load="YES"
nfsclient_load="YES'
smb_load="YES"
agp_load="YES"
usb_load="YES"
ugen_load="YES"
uhid_load="YES"
umass_load="YES"
ums_load="YES
ukbd_load="YES"
cardbus_load="YES"
pccard_load="YES"
cbb_load="YES"
radeon_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
if_wi_load="YES"

There are all usb devices, wireless lan devices, pcmcia devices, video devices 
(agp, radeon) and nfs features.

So my question is loading MANY modules will be as stable (or as unstable) as 
putting them into kernel as appropriate devices (or options), or I will found 
some problems?

Thanks.
