Well, my basic approach to that is that nobody of the volatile team can
really do security stuff (or otherwise debugging) for the kernels. So,
if the kernel team is able and willing to do that, we could go that way.
But anything that is in volatile needs to be security-supported till the
distribution is archived (and the security support won't be done by the
security-team).

Also, you might consider if the current approach to rebuild the kernels
is the best one (but that's of course up to you as long as you do the
work :).
