It would be fantastic, if this thread and other updated and relevant information made it's way to the gentoo wiki. My specific interest is similar, but for minimized or embedded gentoo on other hardware platforms (arm64 and other 64 bit chips). Also, here is a linux kernel (not a fork?) that has peaked my curiosity, as I try to ascertain the implications that are relevant to gentoo :: http://www.zdnet.com/article/matthew-garrett-is-not-forking-linux/ Forking of the linux kernel for specific needs has not been necessary in the past, as one would just not choose to use specific features, by natural selection. But now it seems, even some of the lkm devs are asserting that forking to add new/test/biased codes to the linux kernel sources presents a very interesting and viable pathway for tightly focused development of kernel sources. I think others will soon find this an interesting approach for BoF to collect around cleaner kernel sources which are more focused on the needs of a sub-group. As systemd and cluster codes both progress at a rapid pace, there are tons of conflicts related to performance enhancements and lowest level allocation/control of resources that is creating a need for linux kernel forks. Some folks in the Hi Performance Computing communities are already doing so, privately. I have been personally notified by one such group that they are going to 'open source' their work, in detail, hopefully early 2016, but as soon as practical. Speed optimized, dynamic cluster formation and 100% encrypt-able platforms seem to be converging, imho. hth, James
