And given what the modern Linux kernel does, alongside the power of modern systems (even embedded ones), it's also difficult to argue that the Linux kernel is too large by any stretch of the imagination.

my entire kernel, including all drivers needed for my system except the nvidia blob is 11MB - 10876160 bytes. i don't optimize for size, necessarily, i'm sure i could get it down a lot more if i disabled most of the "default enabled" stuff in a modern kernel that assures it will boot on a majority of systems.
