I didn't say there was a vanilla-kernel.src.rpm, but there doesn't
need to be. You rebuild the Fedora kernel src.rpm file using rpmbuild,
passing in the flag '--with vanilla', which results in building a
(mostly) pure vanilla upstream kernel without (most of) the Fedora
patches, and spits out a resulting kernel-vanilla binary package.
*That* is the point. :)
Excerpt from the Fedora kernel spec file:
----8<----
# Want to build a vanilla kernel build without any non-upstream patches?
# (well, almost none, we need nonintconfig for build purposes).
Default to 0 (off).
%define with_vanilla %{?_with_vanilla: 1} %{?!_with_vanilla: 0}
