My 2 cents here. 1) In the past I had hardly traceable issues with gentoo-sources which were not present in vanilla kernels. I just switched back to vanilla. 2) Gentoo-sources are sometimes behind vanilla kernel. Due to some derivative from Murphy's law this always happens when I need some new features. 3) I looked over patches in gentoo-sources and found none I'm interested into. (That doesn't mean they are useless, just not my usecases.) Best regards, Andrew Savchenko
