The timing for this is really unfortunate for me, because I have just
re-installed my FreeBSD fleet of some 20 virtual servers without sources
included, and I just introduced "binary only" policy (ok I do build my
own ports on one server in poudriere, but all other servers use packages)=
.

I guess theoretically it is possible to make "kernel build server" which
will build custom kernel for distribution to other servers. I am just
not sure how will RELEASE userland tolerate STABLE kernel.

Does this sound reasonable? Any tips?

Thank you in advance,
