I used to build my own kernels back in 6.x/7.x days, but decided it Red
Hat's kernels were OK and not hurting/disrupting my systems at all (or
causing slowness?).  Nor do I use custom built modules (nVidia or
anything else currently), so this all really doesn't concern me.

But this would concern lots of other users, and maybe would like to make
suggestion to prove right/wrong or to help?

What if someone started from scratch with an install (on paper, not
really) and showed the methods (tree process on paper?) of the old way
and Arjan's new way of reconfiguring a kernel and/or building a kernel
module to see the differences written down?
