I doubt we care too much about third party modules, but enabling this by 
default will likely cause at least some of them to stop working.  At the 
very least, we need the config option, even if it's enabled by default.

:-)

Viro took the opposite view with this patch:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/3/1068

where he's ensuring that no exports are dropped, even if obviously 
they're not used (otherwise some complaints would have come about).  So 
I'm not sure if having this turned on by default is a good thing.

But I don't mind being convinced otherwise.

People do build out-of-tree modules.  Dropping support for that would
simplify our lives, but seems fairly controversial :)

Cheers,
Rusty.
