This seems to remove the last documentation of manually invoking config(8) to build a kernel, which seems worthy of explicit mention, and perhaps broader discussion. I do remember some discussion relating to what level of support should be afforded to manually invoking config to build a kernel, with several current developers still using it, but it's a bit hard to search for and I didn't see anything recent in a quick search. Do you have a pointer to a discussion on other source wherein the "old" way of building a kernel is explicitly contraindicated? Thanks, Ben
