This was my main concern when it was mentioned that it wasn't
security-supported.
If it is always up-to-date that definitely helps mitigate things.
Though, there should definitely be some kind of warning on the package
that it isn't security supported. Even if it is up to date it won't
get GLSAs and GLSA-checker won't work. Though, that really only makes
a difference insofar as the GLSAs are also timely.
In any case, if the just-announced distribution kernel project takes
off and remains active I could easily see that becoming the most
commonly used kernel option. I'm not knocking minimal kernels but I
suspect a LOT of users are going to be well-served by a modular kernel
that just works 99% of the time.
