I found to my own dismay that compiling all kernels in sight is
overdoing it, once when I had 200 script generated kernel config
files in my tree :-)

Yes, a step between world and universe is clearly called for,

"make galaxy" nor what it could contain.

Let him who writes the Makefile magic decide that.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
