It's not Knoppix, remember? ;-)
No serious: this isn't about splitting boot and rest, it's about separating
the scripts that do the work. The very reason Morphix came into being is -
as far as I understood - the idea of having a buildtime configurable Knoppix.
I do have a build-time configurable one, without Morphix. So that's not the
problem. The (sort of) "problem" is that Knoppix has it's configuration in
one large file.
I think Morphix is a good idea, because you acquire a lot of info on the
various aspects of the boot process. This could (and should!) ultimately
lead to a better Knoppix.

I have one too ;-)

Yes, I agree - look at Morphix. But Alex, please keep in mind that most
people get attracted to this project through Knoppix and that your basic
strategies are the same. That means that a slightly more modularized setup
could help many; a heavily modularized setup with different scripts is very
useful, but as for the various build scripts people (like me) have made, it
is slightly more work to incorporate a different setup. Which doesn't mean
that Knoppix is the ultimate solution - it just means that you can't
necessarily be able to merge two Knoppix deviations into one better Knoppix
;-)
