> No distro ships stock kernel.org

I think that's not completely true, What about Slackware, and maybe 
Debian or Gentoo ?

Arch Linux also ships vanilla stock kernel.

And I wouldn't call «putting in a few new patches» forking.:-)

While Gentoo offers "vanilla-kernel" as alternative, it uses by default a patched kernel.

See http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches for details.

I've recently brought up Slackware 12.0 on my laptop. I've found no evidence of patched kernel
sources anywhere with any of the provided kernels. AFAIK, Slack has been and remains 'pure'
kernel.org with it's releases.
