I should clarify a little. There are different types of customers. Our main customers are our members. For our members upgraded kernels and GCC4.6 allow them to accelerate their delivery.
The customers I've been talking to are actually using our builds to make stuff. They're the small start-up or even the hobbyist. They are also engineers within the member organizations we're serving. These customers would like their Android experience to be as close to AOSP as possible, just on the board they care about. They're happy with a stable kernel rev and GCC 4.4 because that's what they need to deliver. They use our builds because they generally work. They'd like to get our builds in other flavors, like stable-kernel green and cherry 4.4.
