Being accepted by the kernel is not enough. There should be some heavy-duty quality control. There are a lot of drivers in the kernel that are based on reverse-engineering on windows driver. That translates to "guesswork". Sometimes they are better then the Windows drivers, but often they do not access all functionality of their hardware. So i think that just listing all drivers is insufficient when putting new boxes together. There also are not local user communities everywhere. However they do match "regional distributors" that i talked about earlier, they can provide local coordination of Ubuntu stores. They can also provide tier 2 support.
