On the opposite, that's yet another example of automatic stuff that for
me adds zero value and just doubts in the user's head: "is it safe to
call this with my own config or should I keep a safe copy of it?",
"what will it use for the config?", "will the arch be correct if my
current config references 32BIT and the generated default one switches
it to 64?" etc.

Please let's not add unneeded dependencies and chaining. It does not
help and makes it harder to restart at one specific step, thus lowers
the overall value.
