Yes, I know. But concrete kernel versions may have issues with some specific hardware piece (mostly wifi cards -newer cards may not be included in older kernels-) and for a user standpoint, it's easier to know that the machine (or the device) they are intended to buy it just works out-of-the-box with a Debian release, the one they are thinking to install. I mean, users do not usually care about kernels versions or atheros chipsets, so having a HCL would be a nice, time-saving and very useful (also for companies) tool.
