Can you point me to any informations about it? It's not listed in
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
and in
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=init/Kconfig
CONFIG_KMOD is described as implied by CONFIG_MODULES

I need OSS for one application that I use hardly ever (squaroid). Of
course I can remove oss-compat and modprobe *oss manually or live with
OSS loaded (but then problems like #315455 and #499695 arise).

1) only when oss-compat is installed
2) IMVHO these applications are buggy.

#499695 is about not forcibly loading OSS-emu modules, because they
break dmix.
