I find GENERIC_TINY quite handy if you run into hardware issues during
installation (on a not-so-mainstream machine, maybe). Then it's usually
easier to start with GENERIC_TINY to see of there is *any* chance to
install NetBSD at all, and then adding devices until something
breaks. Maybe this does not justify distributing the compiled kernels,
but the configuration files should be kept to describe a "minimal
system".

Cheers,
