However which ones and when the last gentoo security patches have been installed on is not information readily available. That is something that GLEP-64 once available will give the various gentoo tools information in an easily parsable form to provide to the user community, via various gentoo tools. If it does exist (the security ports to various versions of gentoo-sources, I would like to see some syntax) show me? > But, as far as Gentoo support goes (such as it is), gentoo-sources is > really the intended experience. This is very true. So if you follow your Venn diagram tools you really want kernel version that have both gentoo patches and LTSI [2]. A detailed listing, readily available in a gentoo tool, that shows the list of security ports on a given kernel, would be keen. Note security ports (::=) security and all other kernel code fixes.
