That bumps the amount of kernels in the repos to 6. Those three, ck, suspend2 and vanilla. ck server isnt updated as frequently as CK, and CK contains experimental patches! Why dont you just release that as kernel26cks instead of deceptively naming it? And if cks is so much better than vanilla on servers, then why hasnt it been merged? Setting viper as a default desktop kernel is horrible. Firstly, those patchsets come and go like buses at a bus stop. Beyond was about the longest running, coming up to about 2 years. Secondly, they're often experimental crap, thirdly, they often vary wildly in feature set. It's also deceptive naming them kernel26desktop. I'd never run viper as my desktop kernel, i wouldnt trust it. Why not leave it named kernel26viper and leave it in the aur. As for the laptop kernel, i've yet to see a reasonable suggestion of what it may contain. -desktop,-server,-laptop might look tidy on paper, but when it comes down to the technical implementation, it becomes clear that it is unnecesarily complex, and more confusing than the current setup.
