It's kind of crazy, people always say bloat here bloat there, but then come up with blacklisting....ahhh the forgotten "art" of just having the code you need on

- mbreese 4y agoI get the sentiment, but there is also something to be said for having a consistent and stable starting configuration. Yes, you might end up removing Bluetooth modules from servers, but you know exactly what the starting kernel config is. When you have completely custom kernels for each server, you’ll spend half of your time just figuring out what the starting configuration is. Compiling kernels is really a lost art that many people have never done. It’s probably best to avoid too much of that in production until it’s absolutely necessary.

Well yes, being organized is always important, like a customer of mine wanted all Linux server with GUI and installed all of them as "Desktop-Role" aka preempt-kernel. Gui-Server...bleh..but Customer is King, but i could at least change he's mind about the kernel so Gui-Server-Role it was.
