Minimal? My, I can't even count the times I've said to myself "What the
hell did I compile this kernel with?" Or, had to go through by hand via
make config to duplicate (and pray I got it right) a configuration on a
customer's site who managed to 'rm -rf /usr/src/linux'.

IMHO, there are many more things in the kernel that have less usefulness
than this. Besides, isn't it said that "Instead of griping about
something, implement it?" is the motto for linux-kernel?
