A research institute is NOT populated by average users. Although I agree
that memory is not really an issue anymore.

You are asking the wrong group of people. Kernel hackers/developers CAN'T
help you.
You need to talk to RedHat, SuSe, Caldera, Mandrake, ... and all other
companies that distribute Linux. That's what an average user installs and
these distributors decide what kernel they ship by default.
This debate is totally pointless. You're talking to kernel
developers/hackers, who can't change what kind of kernel RedHat or Caldera
or SuSe or whatever company ships by 'default'.

Absolutely wrong! Forward this mail to Redhat, Caldera, SuSe, etc...
