<You wanna know how many times I screwed up a kernel upgrade? (trust me, 
you don't)  Now, however, I can do it with (literally) one hand tied 
behind my back (can't quite do it blindfolded yet :) and rarely have 
problems.  You learn from your mistakes, and being able to compile a 
kernel by hand is a very useful skill if you ever want to do a custom 
system like I frequently do.>

Almost every Linux guru I know has his/her own custom system.  All my
clients who have anything to do with Linux always customize their own Linux
kernel.  Is this an unspoken sina quo non or what?  :-)

Compiling and installing a new kernel is not the main problem.  The difficult part
is, essentially every major distro has its customized kernel.  And if their patches
are not incorporated by Marcelo, the 18-year Brazilian wonder kid who is now
in charge of the stable kernel, then there may be some unknown consequences.
