One thing is worth pointing out here. If you do remove some drivers (like usb-storage), you may end up with a bloated configuration because the things they selected (like SCSI) won't get removed automatically. That's a disadvantage of using select. Another disadvantage appears when somebody tries by hand to remove a component (like SCSI) and finds that it magically reappears. Evidently something is selecting it, but there's no way to find out what.
