My god that totally-brain-dead Fedora Kernel rpm generation.

RANT a head should be skipped!!

I wish there was a strait forward way to point to a Kernel
git tree HEAD and say "make rpm", which is simply the tar
of the "make modules_install" and the "make install" output
+ a simple script to manipulate grub.conf

Not today's Fedora-Kernel git tree which is not a Linux
git tree at all but those patches above + stable.
Any simple tree moments needs to involve black patch magic
and fear of hell. (Don't try this at home)

Actually the "grub-selector" should have been it's own
rpm. And each Kernel can/should be it's own independent
(none conflicting, right) package. I know, I know, it tries
to be that, but it is not. For example I want a low-latency
rt Kernel as a side choice for any Kernel, and so on...

Throw away that monstrous  Fedora-Kernel-tree. There is
only one Kernel tree it is called Linux. You can do your
own back/forward port branches based on stable to your
heart's content with out inventing a new totally different
patches tree.

Someone stop me. There is no end to the RANT I can
generate about Fedora Kernel release
