It has always worked perfectly in my reality.

Again, the problem is that when one slims down a kernel (which
is usually the reason one uses something other than GENERIC),
one has to remove dozens of lines from the configuration file.
Sometimes a hundred or more. But this is simple enough; one
just deletes the lines. Having to WRITE a line to disable each
of the undesired ones is orders of magnitude more difficult --
unnecessarily so.
