I use distribution kernels because I don't believe that I can do a
better job than the people who are hired (or selected, in a meritocracy)
to compile kernels!

What makes a NZ user any different to one anywhere else in the
English-speaking world?  Would your distribution also exclude
Australians, for any other reason than Matthew Hayden?

Your goal is grand - perhaps a little too grand for a first move?  Find
a way your talents can mesh with the Ubuntu community - perhaps by
joining the Desktop Team [1], if your goal is ease-of-use for a
switcher, MOTU [2], if you want to package software, or a translation
team, if you want to localise the language to New Zealand [3]?

Regards,
Craig
