Well, the story was that they would simply not be loaded by default, not that 
they would be completely removed and thus not available to "modprobe".

The "usual suspects" of course would be people who disagree with you, as usual.

Annoyingly, you can actually be helpful when you aren't sidetracked by noticing 
that someone's hardware is "obsolete" or that their use case isn't "minority".
