Even in single-user mode.
I agree with that requirement. And if I boot a MODULAR kernel and explicitly load the module, I want it to work too, no additional sysctl setting. I also agree with emulation not doing any module auto-loads by default. A sysctl to swith this behaviour (temporarily) might be ok. Martin P.S.: this is not a good list for this discussion, tech-kern might be better.
