Look on the bright side. At least you know that on a Debian list you'll get
the best answer on technical merits.
Producing a good kernel for serious server use is a lot of work. Red Hat has
many good kernel coders working 40+ hours a week on back-porting code from
2.6, writing drivers for various unsupported hardware, and merging the best
patches that float by the l-k list.
There's no reason for Debian to try to reproduce this effort, the Red Hat
kernel source is entirely GPL, there's no reason not to use it. I've been
meaning to package it for Debian...
