Why in unstable development tree are are all the device drivers build in to the kernel? I had a problem with two ethenets on the same IRQ not working. This was fixed by making them modules, and they now the two ethernets work on the same irq

Should we be developing with all the drivers as modules, using an initrd, so that we can keep the kernel size down?
