I guess we'll finally have an answer for people on #kernelnewbies on what distro is best suited for kernel development :-)

Init using the bare minimum possible only seems like a sensible thing. Once the basic stuff is running you can detect whats available and use it if needed/wanted.
I very often build a CONFIG_CGROUP=n kernel, I simply strip down my .config to the bare minimum because that builds fastest.
