Right. The only reason I see for keeping genkernel (and the reason I
use it in the first place) is a machine that changes hardware
frequently (like mine at work), so, a simple rsync of my whole HD to
the new machine can boot with most hardware recognized for a
starter...
I also use it on my laptops because its easier... (but that's not a
good reason, cause there are people who think manual build is easier).
