I've encountered managing kernel trees in CVS both during my tenure at SuSE, and to a more involved extent as Fedora/RHEL maintainer, and I'd just like to echo how much it _completely sucks_ at times. Rebasing to a newer release is a *nightmare* that usually takes up most of an afternoon compared to rebasing my git based projects. In the event I can't persuade the powers at be to switch to git at some point for managing our packages, I'll be sure to bring up your suggestion of a million monkeys. I believe you can pick them up fairly cheap these days.
