Re: why is gif disabled on RPI?

I just tried to set up a v6 tunnel on an RPI1 running netbsd-8, which

pseudo-interfaces are commented out.

I see a lot of these in GENERIC.common, but not gif.   A number of these
are dups with what is in RPI.

Of course, gif is what I wanted, but it seems small, on the order of
10KB, and it seems that being a network appliance is a fairly common
thing.

I of course realize it's easy for me to make a new kernel, and to set up
to load the gif module at boot (but I can't later due to secmodel).

I wonder if anyone would object to cleaning up RPI by removing things
that are in GENERIC.common (NFC).

For example? diffs are welcome

  Also to moving gif to GENERIC.common,
adn turning it on.

I added it to GENERIC.common
