So, after sleeping on it, I think the more sane way to go is to create
a STANDARD (or better named) kernel config file in sys/conf that is
always included by config...  Then things like random can be included
here, and it allows the adventurous to use nodevice and nooption to
disable...

This has the added benifit that other options that are now "standard"
could be made optional with a bit of work, and those that try to reduce
the kernel config could impore their changes for others w/o breaking
things for the rest of us...

Thoughts on this?
