Or you can switch to devel or test sorcery.

I also confirm it is fully functional and that it burns through
benchmarks like fresh pizza on the roof of the mouth.

For some reason though I couldn't build my own kernel straight out of
the iso installer because it was expecting gnupg (despite it being an
optional dependency) and it wasn't in the list of optional spells --
catch 22. In any case, using the provided kernel allowed me to rebuild
later -- once I updated sorcery.
