Slackware, for one, offers a couple dozen kernels, but dont do the

And as the variety of CPUs increases, I expect we'll see more of that.

You are either a complete idiot or a lying troll. The on-screen
instructions for Slackware clearly recommend the use of *one* kernel and
one only unless you have very specific requirements. There are three,
yes, three, only three kernels available for booting on the installation
media.

Within the directory slackware/a are a total of four kernels available
for installation. Neither three nor four constitutes "a couple of dozen"
except in your warped world.
