Unless you intend to explictly work on fb support for Malta, I'd leave them out. I put them in on the SWARM because I was planning to support installations via USB keyboard and monitor, but I no longer have access to a SWARM and there are so few users that the effort is probably not justified anyway.

The modules can always be added once/if users are interested.
