Even doing that is also stupid, and will not work (think about all of |
| 12 |
the config options that are a number, or a selection from a list of |
| 13 |
items, such as the CPU type.) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Or what if the kernel developers introduce a new config option: |
| 16 |
CONFIG_FIX_ALL_BUGS |
| 17 |
You wouldn't want to always turn that off now would you? :) |

That's the easiest thing to do, and something that I'm pretty amazed |
| 26 |
Gentoo has not implemented yet, as all other distros already come with a |
| 27 |
simple script that handles this functionality (works with different boot |
| 28 |
loaders too...) |
