Lots of people (myself included) would like to be able to debug and generally hack the Linux kernel but cannot due to lack of time and the steep learning curve imposed by the lack of a debugger and good documentation.
Not everyone has the time or resources to put in the "hard work" now.
Tools like a KDB would make the kernel a lot more accessible to the time-poor.
