Actually, I do. I don't care much about what the debian project "thinks" or
"expects", and I doubt it's what you claim as:
"As long as Debian compiles software on Linux-2.4 and
expects the resulting binaries to work on Linux-2.2,
the did not yet grok how to deal with evolvoing
interfaces"
I've been using Debian for a while, and I have never really encountered issues
with kernels. Besides, it's besides, the point. The whole thing would not built
against a Linux kernel but against Opensolaris. Entirely different beasts, but
given that most common software which lives in debian builds and works fine for
most other "free" unix likes (*BSD, HURD, Linux) and indeed on a whole slew of
non free (Solaris (well, it used to be non free), Irix, HPUX, AIX) unices, and
heck, even non unices at all (Windows, OpenVMS), I doubt it's really that much
of a problem. Besides, kernel dependent components need to replaced *anyway*,
so I fail to see how your point actually has any relevance at all.
But that's just my view on things through pink glasses :-) I find that
simplistic thinking ("I'm sure it can be done, and it can't be that hard") goes
way further than getting stuck in negativism because there are some obstacles
in the way.
