You're free to go ahead with your plan and distribute splitted kernel trees. I'd even be willing to give you folks disk space and bandwidth for it.
However, I still think this would be a pointless excercise. Do you have any idea on how to split things up for distributing? Which files should be included with what kernel set, etc...?
If you think about it some more (off-list, please), then you'll shortly come to the conclusion that the whole idea is a can of worms you wish you'd have never opened.
I would still like to see you try it, though :)
