Smart move. That technique was used in the Poly2 project among others: https://www.cerias.purdue.edu/assets/pdf/bibtex_archive/01254339.pdf https://www.cerias.purdue.edu/assets/pdf/bibtex_archive/0125... http://projects.cerias.purdue.edu/poly2/ http://projects.cerias.purdue.edu/poly2/ Ever since I saw eCos OS, I wanted every OS to come with both the ability and a GUI tool to just check off all the features I want, compile kernel with just those features, and create installer for that kernel. Current tech in repos should even let one create that configuration automatically based on what packages they wanted or have already installed in a sample system (eg bare metal or VM). Could also use program analysis where features are dropped if they're not called and/or info from security policies like SELinux for further constraints.
