That means going for the lowest common denominator, ie. 386 and SMP. Thanks, but no thanks. I don't mind one module being a bit suboptimal, but the whole kernel? Especially mm...
My argument only makes sense if you update modules independently of the kernel proper, e.g., you want to install the latest network drivers from Donald. The ideal would be that rdist handled the module directory for me.
