Re: Proposal, again: Disable autoload of compat_xyz modules



I do understand you are not proposing to remove compat_linux.
I do understand your proposal is just about disabling module auto-load 
(which I don't care about because I run a monolithic kernel).

So why the hell are you throwing in statements like
> immense trouble for little actual use.
which
a) are irrelevant for and distract from your original proposal (which, yes 
   I do understand, is about disabling module auto-load) and
b) are controversal at best: I run a file server which I need to back up 
   to a server run by central IT (or buy a LTO library and hire some 
   off-the-premisses storage location for a set of tapes). So I either 
   need to run the propriatery client on the file server (which is not 
   available for NetBSD), write my own client or switch to Linux.
