Whee!  This sounds right up my alley!  I see the file bugs upstream thing
and agree that makes the most sense.

I had tried the occasional nightly build, but was never quite sure of the
correct procedure to upgrade from one to the next, incremental vs. from
-rc patch and all that, so I just tried it a very few times, in
particular, when an rc was broken and known to be fixed within the next
snapshot or two. This will of course solve that problem for me.

Of course, I've been grabbing directly off of kernel.org.  Now I'll have
to figure out how to adapt my scripts to use the portage tree
git-sources kernels.  Fun, fun, fun!  =8^)
