Red Hat already removes a bunch of modules/drivers from the RHEL kernel that they don't consider enterprise.

Xbox/PS controllers, for example. I believe some old RAID controller and WiFi drivers are removed too. Whatever they don't want to support.

(Working for Red Hat) We actually opt devices in to our kernel. A couple of years ago an overzealous kernel maintainer removed the watchdog drivers used by qemu from the kernel and it took me ages to get those added back in.
