Is it really a problem for the server
admin to just tolerate a few extra modules
being loaded? I really don't know, I just
thought it is not.
Of course the one may not like the fact
that after the kernel update, he gets a
few modules more in lsmod output; someone
may even call it a bloat...
$ lsmod |wc -l
79
Doesn't look too small already. :)

Anyway, I guess we'll soon find out the
numbers, unless someone will come up with
the good way to make those drivers to
play better together and to not depend
on each other, which looks a bit difficult
from the first glance.
