Again, the kernel won't become default. Period.
Also, there are separate kernels for server users, so this wouldn't be
much different.
No sane general-purpose distro will ship a -rt kernel as the only
option. But that doesn't mean it won't be an option.

On my box, I do have an example. If I use the kernel set up for low
latency recording, the kernel modules required for vmware do not
compile.
But what if "fixing" the mainline distro degrades the performance for
things other than multimedia?
My experience is that it does not. I'd be interested to see any
evidence that optimizing a system for multimedia (latency in the 1-2ms
range) degrades normal desktop use.
