No, you might as well keep it modular, because it's still useful to be able to
keep the size of the kernel down, and only leave the necessary hooks in place
except when you're actually using the functionality.

I was just pointing out why the code looks ugly, that's all - because it's not
a common occurrence. It it were me, I'd still make the majority of it modular.
