[gentoo-kernel] Stabilizing kernels

Hello,

There's and interesting question: how should kernels different than
gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources be stabilized? So far I was trying to match
base kernel version + genpatches version of tuxonice-sources to gentoo-sources
(ie. when gentoo-sources-2.6.X-rY goes stable I would file a separate bug to
have tuxonice-sources-2.6.X-rZ stabilized too).

There's abug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320071 about stabilizing
few tuxonice-sources versions, but it's been quiet since a month.

My question is: should be stabilize non-core (everything other than
{gentoo,vanilla}-sources)? Opinions?

I'm more and more in favor of having tuxonice-sources and ck-sources only in ~arch.

For openvz-sources we have arrangement with arch teams and I mark them
stable by myself as soon as I think they are stable enough. I guess you
could do the same.
