quotas an essential feature? (was: svn commit: r218953 - stable/8/usr.sbin/sysinstall)
I promise to enable UFS quotas in GENERIC in one week unless anybody objects now. Huh? I thought GENERIC was supposed to include everything you needed to boot, not every possible feature that someone might desire? But requests to include things required to boot get rejected and nonessential features like quotas get added.

Actually, GENERIC is there to provide the most features for the most uses. A large percentage of users don't config new kernels, and FreeBSD has not elected the approach Digital Unix (aka DUH) took about installs which required a reconfig as one of the last steps of an installation. I can't speak to your required to boot case- not sure what you're referring to. I also have been sometimes unhappy about things that can't be added for booting, but that's really more of a need a driver disk or options disk kind of case that was more during the FreeBSD delivered on floppy which is long ago and far away and a country now pushing up daisies.

While I can understand some may want its not something we use on any of our machines, and I suspect that's the case for many others. Given adding it means the kernel will be doing extra work and hence a drop in performance for a feature most will never use, I'm guessing here, I would say just leave it out of generic unless there is a real pressing requirement for it?
