[Gllug] Custom kernels

IBM has been shipping linux kernels with their own features in them for a
while and now RedHat starts selling distributions (source: today's IT
week) with customised kernels.

Is this a good or bad trend? Will RedHAt end up being the next MicroSoft
that sells Linux systems that forces you to stay with RedHat? (Well I
suppose they can do that since it's open software but still).
When does Linus become redundant?

Thoughts?
