Not for us that don't compile modules at all, or only modules for the
devices we actually have.

Which should be about 99% of all kernel developers, because otherwise
you're just wasting your time.

I certainly want the configurations to be sane by default, because I'm not
in the insane camp that has every single module and depend on udev picking
the right one out.
