That is not true. And even if it was, distributions tend to merge kernel patches into the distribution kernels before they are merged upstrem if it is likely that it will end up there eventually. So this is really not an argument here. We are in the lucky position to have control on the full system, the kernel as well as userspace. While the general processes might be a bit different in the end it's not that much harder to get something into the kernel than into is to get it into glib or glibc or whatever. Don't believe that the kernel folks are inacessible people one couldn't talk to.
