Hi,
I've seen that 'GENERIC' file has been modified, moving some lines to
'DEFAULTS':
device isa
device mem # Memory and kernel memory devices
device io # I/O device
Why?
What does it mean? Should we include 'DEFAULTS' in our customized 'GENERIC'?
Or those lines are no more mandatory?
No, you don't need to include 'DEFAULTS', config(8) will take care of
that for you.

AFAICT, this was done in order to automatically include devices which
are essential in most cases so less experienced users won't accidentally
break their systems and later complain that e.g. X doesn't work anymore.
HTH,
Phil.
