I'm not suggesting that we get rid of options - only that we have simplified ones for those who don't need them. You can get all the benefits of Gentoo without tweaking every other kernel parameter. That's no different from having a desktop profile/etc. The value of Gentoo is the /ability/ to tweak anything and everything, not the /necessity/ to do so. We already offer genkernel - why not a package that basically runs it with a more comprehensive configuration and installs the kernel? Rich
