Some people were afraid that it would end up like the Windows
registry. Well, even if it did, I'd argue that it still wouldn't be too
bad. The Windows registry has so many classes and entries, and I think
the kernel config would be smaller with not as many classes. You'd have
the device class, and options class. Then, you'd break devices down into
scsi, ide, etc. Or, we could break them down into network, disk
controllers, sound, that way.
