This is all part of shipping a userspace ABI. You're never allowed
to assume it will "just go away." Which is why simply preventing the
modules from being loaded by default is preferable to removing them
from the kernel build entirely.

since it's really up to the individual distro to make sure all shipped
software is up to date...
