- teddyh 6y agoI would much rather have liked to see a list of kernel versions with customized options for each. I mean, imagine coming upon a system where you want to add some other kernel option. You see that the system has all those options already added to the default kernel options. Are you going to research and clean up those options and remove the irrelevant ones? Or are you going to punt, add your own option to the end, thereby adding to the chaos?
