Because there are other, more elegant ways of dealing with these
things.  I don't like /usr/local/src anything, which was the main
complaint.


If there are more elegant solutions I would like to know what they are.

Trivial:


./buildmykernel

where buildmykernel contains something along the lines of:

#!/bin/sh
# My rebuild procedure
( cd /usr/src/; make buildkernel; make installkernel ) && \
( cd /usr/ports/comms/ltxxx; make; make deinstall; make reinstall )


Don't forget the shell! Automatin is the easiest way to handle repeating tasks. As an added bonus it is documenting the decisions you have made.
