It's not so hard to understand, the question is when there is something that _has_ to be done by changing the kernel. Most people don't generally go around compiling for kicks (ok a few maybe do ;)), and pretty much all won't go down the route of compiling the kernel if there _is_ an alternative.
For example, can you change the kernel frequency without? (think there are plans to approach that in future so you don't need to, but I believe currently it still needs a recompile).
At that point, what do you do? Whether that means you should choose a different dist is fine if its needed, but thats a separate discussion really and has to be based on a users requirements.
