Gentoo does not distribute kernels. Every user makes the choice
themself. It just so happens that the genkernel script to create a
generic kernel includes this support, but that's for user convenience.
Personally, I go for Gentoo. The packages are up to date, and emerge
works really well. Plus it feels faster when running on lower spec
hardware, such as the Via Eden CPUs.
