I don't recall expressing "devotion" above. I merely pointed out that
this difference between the new and old methods was an unwelcome
inconvenience and a step backward in the automation department.

Yet, simply adding "-j2" to my command line is so much easier than what
you propose. I build kernels occasionally, not daily or weekly, but
every ~2-3 months. It's not worth the trouble. But maybe others who
need something like this will find the suggestion useful.
