I'm happy with things using it in base outside of the linuxkpi. I'm just trying to push back on the "death by a thousand cuts" that the IOT platforms face for size constraints. There's plenty of stuff in the base kernel that storage challenged platforms don't need but they're not introduced or kept as modules.
