This attitude is a pet peeve of mine.  Why do people assume that because
they _can_ build a kernel for themselves that they must naturally be
better at it then the people at RedHat, SuSE/Novell or Debian who live,
sleep, eat and breathe the kernel all day long.  I think that it is as
much about blindly throwing away all of the work that people who maintain
production quality kernels do as it is about trusting their work.  Another
way to put this is, in what is your trust in the vanilla kernel sources,
or your builds, based?  Hopefully not blind trust 8^)
