FFS should be compiled into the kernel. But I doubt that somebody uses both MFS and TMPFS. I hardly ever use CD9660 or EXT2FS while I use NFS a lot. There will however be people with is opposite requirements which is why those should really be modules. > e.g. the typical file-systems we may have to use, without having to rely > on modules that could be absent or non accessible at boot time. I don't think it needs typical file-systems. IMHO the kernel should contain the file-systems required for booting. This will solve most of the update issues.
