==Found the reason== http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=115197#115197 ==My reply== I wasn't aware of the "bloat reason" for a kernel module. There is no BLOAT when it comes to kernel modules. If enabling a module means having bloat, then having packages with all their dependencies means Arch is very bloated indeed. I think that refusing to add a module for bloat goes directly to support the "USE"-flags in Gentoo. Now, this way, we should remove all the modules in ArchStats/Kernel Modules with 1-2 users, shouldn't we? I'm not very pleased with this reason and I hope this view changes in the future. ==FlySpray task== http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=3232 Mircea /IceRAM -- http://mircea.bardac.net
