This is all somewhat related to Christos's introduction of the MODULAR
config yesterday, in an effort to reduce kernel footprint and get the
number of "things" down below dtrace's limits. :)
I'm not intending to make any changes to GENERIC...

It may be because I read list messages in bizarre orders, but I had
already seen Christos later commits to fix things so autoloading ppp would
actually work, so when I read Paul's message I interpreted it more as
Kernel support for ppp being autoloaded is now there, but
you can't actually use it yet
Which is (probably) now no longer true - no idea, I don't use modules at all.
