no, for the same reason that people should not recompile a kernel.
you might end up disabling something you need.
Lars, the FAQ, this list, they are really for people who need help, not

for people to tweak their machines for silly reasons.
you say, "config makes me boot faster."  so then people go and config

their kernel, and then we get problem reports about broken kernels.
that's fine if you want to go break your machines.  don't try telling

others to do the same.
