OK, it would be beyond great, but it's probably not all that likely to
happen because it would require a CCRMA person (Fernando or the person
they are hiring this month) run some Gentoo boxes and do the builds
there as a first test. Those of is using Gentoo would certainly be
happy to have a low latency kernel as a maintained package instead of
having to grab stuff and do it all ourselves as we do today.
