Well, IMHO, I would like to see three things in the kernel:

1) ability to compile kernel on "server" which has kernel sources being
exported RO, and be able then on clients type 'make install_modules' to
install the kernel. -- it is currently broken.

2) abilty to export sources RO to client and compile them on client;
perhaps by doing lndir command first to duplicate the sources.
-- it is currently broken as well.

3) It would be cool to have FreeBSD-style ability of compile where
all object files goes to different directory. In this way I would not
'pollute' the sources with object files.

Is it just me who would like to see such feature?
What does those-in-power think about it?
