Rafael, If you think an embedded system would be the best and used more than any other then - Feel free to do it and release it. Make your newer and better truly newer and better. That is the beauty and hindrance of LinuxCNC. It is open to whatever YOU want to do with it. If you want to take LinuxCNC and develop it for your own use and not release any of 'your' system you are free to do that as well. I would happily try out your embedded version. The hindrance is if you will not or can not develop the system you want you will need to wait until someone with the will and the way does it. That can be frustrating. A third way is paying someone to develop it for you.
I will have to agree with you on the metric system. But alas, you and I are not the only ones here.
