Of course, not.  Not sure how you inferred such a thing.

IMHO, GENERIC should contain only those devices and options
that are required to get FreeBSD booted on new hardware.
VIMAGE and MROUTING aren't needed, and can be configured by
the user after installation.  As for VPS, AFAICT, there isn't
an option/device named VPS; at least 'find /sys/ -type f | xargs
grep VPS' wasn't too enlightening.
