I can boot my ext4 / filesystem with a clean dmesg :)
I don't care if I will maintain it in core or extra with additional signoff. Maybe our ISO makers should say if they have enough space for this kernel for both arches in core or if they would like to put it manually as bonus to the disc and how the selection will work (remember the scsi/ide years?).
To me core would be the more logical place stating it's of the same quality and importance.
This may mean the end of the multi-arch images unless we can compress the squashfs better.
We can. squashfs-lzma is a significant improvement, but it can't be built out of tree, I don't think (last I checked was a while ago, this may have changed)
