Linux net stack is tooo fat, and have to support a gazillion features that are only needed by less than 10 companies in the world each.

That's lack of leadership for you... Kernel people should be pushing back more on such features

Why would they stop companies from contributing optional code to Linux for their products when you can just (not) compile what you want of it?

The linux eco-system does not begin and end with a RHEL/Ubuntu binary distribution built to run on every crappy PC in the last decade.

1. not all minority feature commits are config disableable

2. focus - kernel keeps accumulating abandonware code for gimmick features/drivers
