Actually, GENERIC is there to provide the most features for the most
uses. A large percentage of users don't config new kernels, and FreeBSD
has not elected the approach Digital Unix (aka "DUH") took about
installs which required a reconfig as one of the last steps of an
installation.
I can't speak to your "required to boot" case- not sure what you're
referring to. I also have been sometimes unhappy about things that can't
be added for booting, but that's really more of a "need a driver disk or
options disk" kind of case that was more during the FreeBSD delivered on
floppy which is long ago and far away and a country now pushing up daisies.

Huh? I thought GENERIC was supposed to include everything you needed to
boot, not every possible feature that someone might desire?
But requests to include things required to boot get rejected and
nonessential features like quotas get added. WTF?
