  my main problem with this is that Gentoo for obvious reasons never
  unmerge a kernel.  if ~x86 would yield a few kernels every week for
  someone who has both vanilla-sources and development-sources
  installed, well, that'll take _space_.

  first in DISTFILES, then as a package if one uses buildpkg and last
  under /usr/src.  for most people, this will be two compressed and
  one unpacked piece of kernel source for each installed kernel.

  this would, if nothing else, make "emerge -U world" slightly
  annoying to deal with.
