I strongly recommend this path.

It took a long period of time to factor out the crazy kernel configs that
were used all over the package building nodes.  The "stuff that changed"
wound up only being ~15 lines, 10 of which were common to all nodes and
archs.  The rest were minor tweaks.

But there was no way to tell that without a lot of detective work.
