I don't think that is good idea --- many MiNT-users don't need the
(net-)extensions and the kernel would be bigger as needed.

I prefer the opposite way --- remove more things from the kernel to
drivers, the 'fasttext'-device for example (I never use it and it is
not present in my kernel).  That makes the kernel smaller and you
don't need to keep different versions of the kernel.
