According to solar of #gentoo-security, the current (apparently undocumented) policy is to not create GLSAs for kernel vulnerabilities.  I would greatly appreciate if this were to be reconsidered, or failing this, documented -- it's good to at least know that individual Gentoo users need to separately track GLSAs and kernel vulnerabilities.  I personally assumed that GLSAs were created for kernel vulnerabilities, as http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/ does not mention the kernel exemption.
