Assign to Warner who is working on MINIMAL. My understanding of the current plan is to make it a less minimal on order to increase it's usefulness. Canonicalize assignment.

Also vlan, tuntap and gif since they can be loaded. imp didn't include the part of the patch that removed xen guest support. Xen guest is relatively small and has no way of being loaded.

Created attachment 194912 [details] remove lines from MINIMAL The MINIMAL kernel config still contains a few things that can (should?) be taken out, either because they should not be used in a production kernel (like WITNESS stuff), or are drivers that are run-time loadable. (Please note that the loop, random, ether, and bpf devices cannot be removed from the static config because of kernel compile errors, and removing basic screen and keyboard stuff is pointless.)
