The fact that Debian is ported to so many different architectures makes it great for embedded devices an other things that don't contain an Intel, AMD, or a PPC chipset. Go over to the LKML and tell them they should drop support for a few obscure architectures to speed up kernel releases and see how they react.Actually, it happens on a regular base that a new kernel gets released and that one or more architectures are known broken because the maintainers haven't caught up or synced in time.
Yet do hear don't kernel hackers offering to drop support for those architectures despite the hang ups ;-) Why should Debian not have the same vision? -- "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein
