One thing I disagree with (in our context) is that kernels don't matter.
For what we do, they matter a LOT. And in the commercial world, kernels
matter tremendously, such as in embedded applications. There are companies
determined to build from-scratch kernels so they can have a "proprietary
advantage"; there are others just as determined to use Linux Inside
because they don't have the resources to do their own. It's economics.
In the general case, for desktops and laptops and such, however, it may
well be true that kernels don't matter.
