Coming from SLS, slackware and yggdrasil way back in time, it's how it 
has been for me all the time. I have my configs, scripts and so
on. I kept them over time, and they just work :-)

Most of the time, I recompile when a new stable rc hits
kernel.org. Quite often, the rc doesn't differ from the release, or it
differs in parts which doesn't affect me. So I'm just keeping the rc,
being too lazy to recompile :-)

I don't know. Sometimes it's more, sometimes less. I just copy my
things over, read lkml as usual, and let the machine do the job.
