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.
