On the other hand, then lot of hardware won't work, because drivers are 
built as modules... Pretty much only boot-critical drivers should be 
built into the kernel. I find it especially strange if we have 
linux-firmware installed but not modules, because most of the firmwares 
are used by modules (WiFi drivers, etc). So if kernel-modules is removed 
then also linux-firmware should be removed, that is another large 
package and not boot-critical.

IMO, there are better places to shave off size of minimal images than 
cutting out hardware support.
