This is not a concern for Debian or Fedora. They're happily shipping universal images and kernels. I'm not sure I understand why this is a concern for us? > That is a good thing.

If everyone is running the same image, you benefit from having other people building and running and putting through QA the same code as you do. If everyone on the other hand builds for their own little board, things will regress quietly, and when they do, you have only yourself for help. Alex
