Sure... why not?

The kernel normally does one of two things

   --- multiplex hardware resources for applications

or

   --- cheap router thing

"really good ping responder" is a pointless purpose.

    Then kernel must be shipped out without rate-limiting enabled by
    default, that's problem.

I guess I missed something.  That doesn't seem like a problem to
me... and if you need to ship with a rate by default, then ship with a
very-high rate.  I've never managed to respond to more than 60,000
ICMP packets/second, so I suggest 60,001.
