On a non-technical note : If we value freedom, then choosing which OS to run 
is also a "freedom" that we should value. Thus, we cannot force users to 
choose linux over any other OS (all the BSDs are pretty heavily used too)

From a technical point of view : I really see no reason why konqueror would 
become faster if its in the kernel! Besides, konqueror is just a shell. In 
reality, all the stuff konqueror does is via plugins. Which means that to add 
konqueror to kernel means adding Qt, and most of KDE to the kernel. Instead, 
you can think of your new_kernel = current_real_kernel+Qt+KDE :) Which means 
that you already have konqueror in the kernerl itself!
