i would like to suggest a graphical way to setup and install the
kernel and kernel components, this would make it easier for idiots
like myself to install the kernel with more ease and could solve this
issue of 'bloating'. Making a graphical kernel installer could make it
easier for people to select exactly what they want in their kernel, i
have no idea if this is even remotely possible because im quite the
noob when it comes to compiling stuff on linux but if it is that could
be a good idea

There is always make gconfig, this is presents a GUI for you. However
keep in mind that compiling your own kernel is never going to be an
idiot proof activity, instead it is something that is going to require a
little bit of knowledge about how the kernel works and how the compile
process works.
