Distributions could put the userland apps in place to allow "automagic" tuning, recompilation etc based on questions asked of the user. This Supe-Me-Up app could even download the latest _Distro_Tested_ kernel and use that as the basis of the new tuned one. Really i don't see what any of this has to do with Linux Kernel. Eric i'm not putting down your excellent work, but i really don't see where this is going, Normal users should _never_ have to use kernel.org trees.
