it would be nice if the expected behavior were documented somewhere so
we dont have to keep thrashing the section markings on the gadget
drivers. first they get marked to save space for setups where it
makes no sense to keep the functions. then they get tweaked to
support a semi-dynamic state. now they're all removed to support yet
a different setup.

sounds like the system is insufficiently flexible to meet the
realistic needs of different groups.
