>I have a text file that I've slowly filled over the last 6 years with pointers to all the random emails, references, blog posts, LWN articles, and research I've had to do to just figure out if I actually need to enable a particular option or not.

If this text file is in a readable (and polite) state, it'd be great if you could post it somewhere so others can learn from it. I've tried compiling a kernel 4 or 5 times over the last decade, and never got one that booted.

Indeed. The only way I get working custom kernels is by taking my distro kernel's config and modifying it slightly.
