So all I need to know is why should ekkoBSD exist?

Because Rick Collette wanted too? Mostly he didnt like the politics on OpenBSD. So he forked, all power to him.

I know many BSD users who switched to Gentoo because it had better driver support, and the 2.6.x kernel is great for the desktop. Its nice to see BSD and Linux developers start working on both platforms, and playing nicely.
