4 Sorry for that GPG-traffic and me needing 3 mails to formulate my
5 thoughts.

7 I am not against providing a gentoo-sources binary kernel package with
8 a sound setup to suite gentoo-needs and `make allmodconfig`
9 to give the less enthusiastic `make nconfig` button pushers something
10 to boot their fresh installs with -- and never move away from it.
11
12 As long as it's slot-ed and proper CONFIG_LOCALVERSION'ed* aka having
13 more than one version installed to do downgrades and tests.
14
15 (*) Meaning, the modules dir should change with every release to avoid
16 loading outdated out of tree modules, and the kernel files in /boot
17 should not clash.
18
19 Suggesting to run `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` would be
20 nice, too.
21
22 *enough*
