I might regret saying this, but whatever: It afaics would not me to much 
hassle for me to add a 'rawhide-nodebug kernel repo' to the set up Linux 
vanilla repositories I'm preparing right now (see mail to this list from 
last week). I have the scripts and the mechanisms in place to build, 
testboot the kernels in a VM and publish them in a repo anyway.

But I wonder: Wouldn't it be better to find the root of the major 
slowdowns that were introduced in 3.1 afaik? See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735268

The this rawhide-nodebug repo might not be needed that badly...
