   I was looking for such a distro to get ideas on how they interact with the   
   human when doing it.  It's not that *I* personally need to do it.  I have   
   built kernels both ways (static without modules, and dynamic with modules)   
   and have done so for multiple architectures.

   Most systems do have good reasons to use modules.  There are cases where that   
   is not a good choice.  A subset of embedded devices are likely to be the bulk   
   of that.
