This assumes a best case scenario that you will never need to get some new peice of hardware working at a time when taking the time out to set up a new kernel will be painful. No matter what percentage of time this best case scenario is true, it will never be true 100% of the time, and as time goes on the chances that it will fail to be true at some point approaches one. Some of the failure scenarios are very painful. After it has failed to be true a couple of times, people tend to switch over to modular kernels. -- see shy jo
