I rather disagree from my personal experience so far looking after the
ARM architecture - initially entirely external to mainline, then partly
merged, and later completely merged into the mainline kernel.

I've always found userspace to be the _biggest_ problem overall - I can
spend many many hours trying to sort out userspace whereas it doesn't
take long for the kernel side.

Maybe I just entirely suck at userspace though. 8)
