maybe we can get the pm's to implement this as EAPI="999,999,999.99"
I suggest a syntax of "virtual/kernel:::::::user_patched"

On a more serious note, How can we confirm a package is stable when we
can't confirm the kernel it depends on is?

I would have no problem with gentoo-sources also including a use flag(s)
( or not ) and having it add patches to support software we have within
the tree.   I have no say in that tho.
