Even if your idea sounds a little bit crazy, this is probably the best
way at the moment to get a well suited kernel. But I'd rather see a
kernel where all options were compiled into separate modules so simply
choosing the right modules constructs the optimal kernel. This could be
done during an install or setup process. Sound crazy? Maybe now but how
about in the future?
