On one hand I agree.  But on the other hand I disagree.

Given that the Linux kernel is released as source code, people can 
reconfigure it as they want.  People can even add patches to it to add 
additional functionality that's not in the upstream vanilla kernel 
source.  OpenZFS and some binary BLOB drives from vendors being perfect 
examples of such things not in the upstream vanilla kernel source.
