I wonder if this isn't going to complicate my life maintaining the linux-rt kernel on AUR. So far I've tried to track the linux package closely, but I wonder what repercussions it will have. Many times it's also out of sync with the main distro kernel, but I always used to pick up the patches etc used by the main kernel.
