You confuse automation, with simplification.
Automation tools are good for frequently re-run tasks.
How often do you recompile your kernel?
exactly.
In my opinion, the least we could do is have it as a port/package. For the
make check dependencies, that could be a great idea to commit
major:minor numbers and the rules / options
pertaining thereto,

The debate here is automation vs. simplification. Why we shouldn't
simplificate the kernel compile ? Because our user base's average IQ will
be lower ? We're not suggesting to have KDE installed by default here.
Users would still to have to type the commands to compile the kernel by
