Kernel.org doesn't have 4.11 or 4.12 those are EOL. That's good reason for
those 2.

2.02beta isn't even in portage anymore. They have 2.02 stable. We should at
least use packages that exist in portage. There are also
changes/bugfixes(GCC, EFI, VMs, etc) between 2.02beta3 (Feb 2016) and
2.02(April 2017) stable considering it was released little over a year
later.

No, without any motivaton why, we are not going to replace something that
isn't broken.

"Once 4.14 is the status quo release, how do we feel about dropping 4.11.
4.12 and 4.13 kernels from the repository?"

Again, why should we? I only drop kernels that are EOL.

I did propose to only ship LTS kernels on our iso images. But that is a
different discussion.

I don't see any point in dropping kernels from the repository, unless 
we're running out of space. There is always some peripheral device that 
worked better with the "previous kernel".

Once 4.14 is the status quo release, how do we feel about dropping 
4.11. 4.12 and 4.13 kernels from the repository?

Why for? It's a good idea to be able to downgrade the kernel.

We are still using grub2.02-beta3. Can we please upgrade to the stable 2.02?

Once 4.14 is the status quo release, how do we feel about dropping 4.11.
4.12 and 4.13 kernels from the repository?
