For example, RedSleeve EL6 doesn't come with a kernel because there are too many SoCs to sensibly support - the official recommendation is to use whatever kernel/modules/firmware your device came with when using the EL6 userspace. I guess the point I am getting to is that it's not an either/or case, you can have the best of both. For example, I use a Samsung Chromebook with RedSleeve and the standard ChromeOS kernel. Gordan
