Comment:
I have a MacBook and the usbmouse/bcm5974 conflict is non-obvious. It took a bit of digging to figure out why my trackpad was misbehaving (I can't remember now if it was totally dead or had limited range of motion). It also requires a new initramfs because, if you forget to do that, your initramfs tends to load usbmouse before your Void installation can blacklist it.

Nevertheless, I agree with @fosslinux that we shouldn't be arbitrarily disabling features just because one class of users runs into some non-obvious behavior. The kernel docs recommend not saying Y because compiling it in-kernel probably makes it a lot harder to preempt. That is not the case for modules, which can be trivially blocked from loading.

The best way to address this problem might be a page on docs.voidlinux.org.
