heh, that's funny, but hard to believe that I won't get support for a 
modified / hacked / changed / "broken" kernel. It's like saying " You 
can buy the car, but if you change the tires we won't service it" - 
Dude, that's the mentality of M$ and the likes, NOT Open Source

Besides, VMWare & Virtualbox needs it to install properly on the system, 
what do you tell them? We won't support you, so your  programs won't 
work on our system?
