Is it like wanting to eke out every last cpu cycle, reduce kernel memory consumption or wanting to improve security by having a monolithic kernel and stripping all unnecessary parts? My thinking is that unless you have a farm of servers and a team of sysadmins managing them, it is not productive to do these. Performance gains, even if measurable, are not worth the time it takes me to do so for each kernel release. I'm not sure how much security improvement there is in making things monolithic these days, but I'd sooner see the effort+resource spent on other aspects (applications, infrastructure, selinux/apparmor, etc), and make the kernel monolithic only after exhausting most other avenues.
You do have a point. I do agree with you. I should spend more time on the other aspects.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It was what I needed. I do value them. More learning now.
