ok, first time i see someone telling ide-cd should in module, but knowing it
isn't really necessary :)
as for having ide-cd in module, i think it could be a nice idea (at install, all
ide is already in module), but the main pb is that people are not used to, at
least if we would put all ide in module, then you would not boot without initrd.
Having only ide-cd as module may be a good mid-solution.
