I should think the goal is for everyone to be able to use kernel.org trees with reasonable expectations. I'd like to see the day when distros can include a pristine tree. I don't expect it, and the need for outside trees isn't going away, but I'd like to see kernel.org be the canonical Linux for more production systems, development starts, and non-i386 arch's. With respect to Aunt Tillie, hardware discovery and kernel configuration are separate issues. Can't the hardware probes be a separate package? The autoconfigurator I think will be useful, but can't the configurator just be dependent on outside packages like other functionality is dependent on isdn4k-utils or iptables?
