Is not as hard as some make out. It's worth spending a few hours learning how to build your own kernel
no it's not worth spending a few hours in your day just to add a minor security patch when you have other more important things to worry about not everyone has 'a few' hours spare just to read through various wikis
even with the PCLinuxOS distros there are still problems for example when i was considering linuxing my laptop i put pc linux os on.. 1st problem no power management stuff 2nd problem pcmcia support wasn't there and when i tryed to enable it the way the wiki for it stated it froze. once the hardware issues are sorted out so you can literally just plug and play people won't want to use it as no one wants to spend more than 5 mins trying to get something to work without getting annoyed
