I wasn't fully convinced by Arjan's argument in relation to a _general
purpose_ distro. This especially holds true because he is the rockstar who
helped Moblin boot in 5 seconds on very specific hardware. Moblin is no
Fedora, it is no Ubuntu, or opensuse, etc. He thinks that modular kernels are
fail because modprobe is slow. Besides more TLBs for separate modules, they
make perfect sense for general purpose distros.

devtmpfs is kind of like another tool in a swiss army knife. Just because you
don't always use the can opener doesn't mean someone else doesn't and won't.
Them using it more than you doesn't make them wrong. Each achieves the same
end goal. That being said, Arjan is certainly doing amazing things for Linux
as a whole and hopefully he keeps it up.
