[Dev] linux-libre-4.15.9_gnu-1 update missing critical kernel modules

[jc_gargma]

The linux-libre-4.15.9_gnu-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz kernel update that just went 
live is missing numerous critical kernel modules. Had I not noticed the 
mkinitcpio errors during update I would have found my system unbootable.

An quick exam shows all file-systems other than EXT4 have been disabled in the 
kernel configuration. So has dm-crypt and all libre wifi drivers.
# CONFIG_REISERFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_JFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_GFS2_FS is not set
# CONFIG_OCFS2_FS is not set
# CONFIG_BTRFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_NILFS2_FS is not set
# CONFIG_F2FS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_FS_DAX is not set

# CONFIG_DM_CRYPT is not set

# CONFIG_ATH9K is not set
# CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC is not set
# CONFIG_B43 is not set
# CONFIG_CARL9170 is not set

These are missing across x86_64, i686, and armv7h architectures.


If this kernel update is not replaced or reverted with haste a sizable portion 
of the Parabola userbase will likely find their systems unbootable or without 
wireless support within a very short timeframe.

You know what, this really annoys and upsets me. You needed to take a
break, and couldn't maintain the kernels, that is fine with me. Life
stuff happens and I can understand and relate to that.

But when things fall apart, and somebody takes over and tries to fix
your shit, you don't just come back and berate them for it, and take
over again. That's just not done. *Especially* not on a public mailing
list, and *Especially* not without presenting cause and reason for your
criticism, and *MOST Especially* not without a word of thanks for taking
over the work you left behind.

I don't care if it's just 'your opinion', I'm not taking kindly to being
personally and professionally attacked. Yes, I *am* taking this badly,
and expect an apology.

Best,
Andreas
