I agree with you except here (and you may be able to find a solution
here.) My problem with not doing this is that ports and third party
software that creates modules (vmware, etc) needs a place to put them,
and currently that's modules. While you could put them in /boot, that
seems ugly at best. Otherwise, I like ideas very much. I've been
wanting to build and install my custom kernel and GENERIC in one fell
swoop since {build|install}kernel was added.
