If the goal is providing a general purpose kernel that's based on genpatches (plus BFQ and aufs3) and could be used in official live images, the current sabayon kernels could work just fine for Gentoo. They are coming directly from Linus' (or gregkh for stable releases) git repo. Upstreaming sabayon-kernel.eclass and kernel binary ebuilds is something I'd be interested in, as long as other devs here are willing to help me out as well. But I don't want to go off-topic too much. -- Fabio Erculiani
