Just two thoughts: - How many "kernel people" do we know anyway? The majority of PHP users are not kernel people (or whatever the equivalent for PHP is). I, for one, recompile my kernel rather frequently and enjoy using the menu-based tools; and I know lots of people who, like me, do. If that makes us inexperienced users, then so be it, but what I wonder is which group represents the majority. - I wonder how many people have actually started using PHP since that configuration tool was available. Perhaps the average makeup of the PHP user today is different enough that such a system might turn out to be popular. Regardless, these are not to orthogonal concepts. The configuration tool can well be external to PHP proper--that way, it would be possible to evaluate its effectiveness. There are probably more pressing issues right now, and I'm certainly not the best judge of what they are.
