Hi Peter,

Maybe we should also deprecate modules-init-tools, since Jon Masters
announced some time ago that it was no longer maintained and people
should go to kmod utils ?

Sooner or later we should, but I'm not sure if kmod is mature enough to
do it yet. I actually very rarely use kernel modules, perhaps someone
else knows more about it?

According to the kmod talk at ELC, kmod is now a complete replacement
for module-init-tools, and module-init-tools are deprecated, as Maxime
said. So all distributions are likely to switch to kmod rather soon.

 Shouldn't this depend on BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS?

Arguably it should (even though I would like us to consider getting rid
of that option).

 +1!

 But then I think the prompt should mention it is also in busybox.
