Red Hat will ship two kernels. Well, they actually ship now about 4 ones or something. So they will ship 8.
Plus they will ship a script that recompiles kernel without user crawling in documentation. It should be an option in linuxconf: recompile local kernel: debug-nodebug-optimized-localized-nonmodular-server-router-workstation which compiles and installs 2 hardware/situation optimized/configured kernels: debug and production. I am sure company like redhat can ship a little new linuxconf module.
Don't worry, people can make good use of multiple options. If you provide orthogonal tools they will provide orthogonal solutions.
