I toyed with the idea a few times.  It might actually make sense to do something
like this.  There's probably always a handful of patches that you'll want
from the Fedora kernel (things like the make nonintoldconfig thing for eg)
but it could be worthwhile.
I've chatted with Andrew Morton a number of times, and he's also wondered
why we don't do it, and I don't really have a good answer.

Meh, lets do it.  If we can hook it somehow so that when I do
a 'make build' for the rawhide kernel, a vanilla also pops out,
all the better.       (Though build times for the kernel are getting _crazy_)
