13 If the goal is providing a general purpose kernel that's based on
14 genpatches (plus BFQ and aufs3) and could be used in official live
15 images, the current sabayon kernels could work just fine for Gentoo.
16 They are coming directly from Linus' (or gregkh for stable releases)
17 git repo. Upstreaming sabayon-kernel.eclass and kernel binary ebuilds
18 is something I'd be interested in, as long as other devs here are
19 willing to help me out as well.
20 But I don't want to go off-topic too much.
