I agree, but IMHO it's a long/middle term goal (beta2 or 3).
To get a beta 1 done I think a generic kernel based on the 486 processor will 
be enough for a start (the Bering-uClibc series worked out well, with only one 
kernel - no objection, if we improve it during the release cycle).

I believe the main target for beta1 is to detect remaining bugs and to provide 
a proof-of-concept (or slightly more  - I run Bering-uClibc4 for weeks in 
production).

Different kernels are nice-to-have, but IMHO it requires a lot more work, 
thoughts and testing - and esp. for testing, users who started to use Bering-
uClibc4 (with the first beta).
