Well I'm not talking about dumbing-down the kernel. What I'm talking about is to keep existing functionality. For sure the kernel is made for people with a clue, but still people with a clue sometimes makes stupid mistakes.
A build system that catches obvious stupid mistakes is IMHO a good thing. But it shall not that for any cost, and the normal incremental build shall continue to be as fast as possible.
