The usual suggestion: feel free to pick a kernel of your choice, and keep maintaining it and backporting fixes to it, and make your tree available for others. You see, _nobody_ stops you (or someone else, for that matter) from doing so. And if the need really exists, the users will come, and the help with maintaining it will appear. So far, people keep complaining that noone does it for them. Right. That won't happen. If you want it, step up.
