When you get commitment to a fixed hardware configuration for two years
and you want to leave your datacenter full of hosts ready to power up
and play off a custom CDROM, a release that uses a custom kernel is
desirable.

That said, I don't think that the release should pick up KERNCONF.  I
think a middle-ground option is to have the release pick up
RELEASE_KERNCONF.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
