This triggered an acute case of TL;DR, but I see only a three
interesting routes here.

1) For rawhide: a repository that tracks mainline releases (ie, a
repository that is at the latest mainline release for only two weeks,
and then starts tracking the latest rc's).

2) For non-rawhide: repositories that track the highest possible stable
release (ie, repositories that track the latest mainline release, but
track its stable releases until the next mainline release).

3) For non-rawhide: repositories that just rebuild the current kernel
package with all non-mainlined patches dropped.

Personally, I have a box that - sort of - does 1 and a box that does 2.
I think 1 and 3 look the more interesting routes. Why bother with
anything more complicated?

Thanks,
