I think it's very convenient, I use it from within another script that mounts /boot, takes the current config, issues make oldconfig, calls genkernel, and in the end it rebuilds those packages that would break. It also add a bunch of lines in /etc/lilo.conf, call "lilo -v" and reports the exit error code. Even if I still think you assertions are quite vague (also speaking of the other post, the one about nvidia drivers), I guess the point is: "if you let genkernel do all the work it makes a lot of choices a user would never take, so for a Linux user it's better to know what kind of hardware is handling than rely blindly on a script". In this case I fully agree, having spent a couple of hours the first time(s) I configured the 2.6 kernel.
