I'm sure most of the replies regarding job security and such were tongue-in-cheek, but the real point of keeping a standard kernel is to help manage your own workload. Doing massive modifications means keeping track of it somewhere - that means either in your head (good luck) or doing extensive documentation (good luck). What really happens is that you end up spending lotsa time backtracking over your old code and mods to try to figure out what the hell you were doing! Caveats: don't get anal about this - mods and patches are needed. But the more you can mods and patches, the easier your job becomes (use the time to manage more systems, do kernel research, or play Solitaire FAIC). f
