FFS should be compiled into the kernel. But I doubt that somebody uses
both MFS and TMPFS. I hardly ever use CD9660 or EXT2FS while I use
NFS a lot. There will however be people with is opposite requirements
which is why those should really be modules.

I don't think it needs typical file-systems. IMHO the kernel should
contain the file-systems required for booting. This will solve most
of the update issues.

        Kind regards
