Referring to my archives, It was NOT in RH7.3. It IS IN FC1. I skipped RH8 and RH9.
Regardless, I didn't notice it before, so thanx for correcting my ignorance.
Kernel building actually hasn't changed much from RHL6.1+, as I was building kernels from .src.rpm (SPEC files, patches, etc...) as early as RHL6.2. It really became a necessity in RHL7, especially 7.1+, as the headers and other issues came around.
I guess I just didn't notice the /boot/config-* files in newer releases. Again ... DOH!
