==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.
