I think it's very convenient, I use it from within another script that
mounts /boot, takes the current config, issues make oldconfig, calls
genkernel, and in the end it rebuilds those packages that would break.
It also add a bunch of lines in /etc/lilo.conf, call "lilo -v" and
reports the exit error code.
Even if I still think you assertions are quite vague (also speaking of
the other post, the one about nvidia drivers), I guess the point
is: "if you let genkernel do all the work it makes a lot of choices a
user would never take, so for a Linux user it's better to know what
kind of hardware is handling than rely blindly on a script".
In this case I fully agree, having spent a couple of hours the first
time(s) I configured the 2.6 kernel.
Ciao
