It's not so easy :)

You'll end up with contradictory issues: having driver support and
having people look at the code. The non-driver parts of the kernel are
quite well looked at. Drivers, much less. Research has shown that
it's there that most bugs lie. And taking another kernel won't really
change that issue (if the other kernel is actually at all shipping other
drivers than just picking up Linux').
