I agree.  Kernel module configuration absolutely should not be exposed
to the desktop.  Distributions should hide this stuff in their deepest
darkest corners.  Or, better yet, we should make modules not require
manual configuration.  That is so 1990's, people.

My Utopian dream for the future as us moving further away from this
stuff, not closer.  Share it with me.
