I am a normal user who is trying to compile newer kernel, to me,
minimal settings for "common platform" is more important than minimal
settings for "distro", minimal settings for distro is for sure
important though, thanks for bringing this RFC up for the benefits of
normal users.

But instead of selecting distro myself, can the minimal settings be
auto-selected by checking my current distro?
