I am supposing of course that they think the embedded people will contribute interesting code in the long run. If they don't think that then this is moot anyway :)

But even if they contribute interesting code, most kernel developer do not work on Linux only for glory, they get paid to do it. I'm not sure company like RedHat, Novell, IBM or Oracle would be terribly happy to have their people spend time reviewing embedded API.
