Will it still work with a CONFIG_CGROUP=n kernel? I see distributions
deteriorate, you cannot even boot a raw bzImage kernel without initrd on
most distros (sure, its not too hard to fix, but still).

Also, I get all kinds of dumb-ass init-script failures for not having
modules but stuff built-in. A prime example is NFS failing on start on
both fedora and ubuntu with a built-in nfs server (for different but
both retarded reasons).

Requiring CONFIG_CGROUP=y to even get init running seems like a final
straw to ensure nobody will ever get anything to boot these days.
