I only count 3 kernels ... and don't really think a kernel-server would
need a monthly update or more.
Ck and Cks patches are released together.  And for the rest check what
I've written. I never said viper should be a desktop one etc ... I was
just pointing out that if nobody wants to make binary kernels, we can
have those kernel in aur ! And build them IF needed.
