We are going to end up with a million+ (or something like that) "config <RANDOM_FOO_DISTRO>" options that are going to have to be kept up-to-date regularly... Do we really want that? Maybe we do, maybe we don't - I'm not saying anything either way - just pointing it out. I like the general idea - let a user pick the "make my distro work" option and then tweak from there. But, with hundreds (thousands?) of distroes out there, is it realy doable? Will we be able to keep things updated properly?
this needs to be more like 'make install' where the build system doesn't have specifics for every distro, but instead refrences a separate file that's provided in the same place by every distro, ideally separate from the kernel itself.
