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.
