I think this is the key - most kernels should be good. When Project 
Utopia is working with a vanilla kernel, maybe it will encourage 
distributors to get involved so they can adopt the technology.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the LSB have to say about the 
use of binary modules? Do they dictate that it should be vanilla?
