I'd argue it is in better shape than at a lot of times in the past. There are other kernels in the repo, as there have been for as long as I can remember. They vary in purpose and level of QA. And of course you can just download your own sources considering the official handbook instructions has you build your own kernel anyway... I personally just run upstream longterm so that I have more control over things, because I run ZFS. However I wouldn't say that this is any problem with the Gentoo kernels - I just have unusual needs and a package for the source tarball doesn't really add much value anyway. A package that actually builds/installs a working kernel seems like a lot more value-add aside from the QA. -- Rich
