I don't think that it needs to go in core to get signoffs. We could put it in extra and make an exception (i.e. require signoff). The only advantage of putting it in core is to offer it as an alternative kernel for the iso.
Is there a disadvantage to putting it in core? I'd say if I was going to install the lts kernel on a server, It'd be annoying to have to install using kernel26 then install lts from extra later. Having it available on the install CD would be useful. Not to mention core explicitly requires signoffs which solves that problem also.

+1 from me for putting it in core
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. -Andy
