Plus, the target market for Gentoo is folks who know how kernels work,
know what they want and know how to enable it without hand-holding.
If the target market doesn't know how to do this, they almost always
have the skills *and desire* to learn it, and usually do so very rapidly.
Add it all up with what you said and you get a complete explanation for
why gentoo-sources works like it does.
