For me and I guess most other developers on this list, it is actually an advantage that the kernel does not need itself to build.
it won't be different as like updating to a broken glibc.
Yes, and that precisely is the problem - we do not want to deal with the bootstrap issues that the toolchain guys have to. For you, it's probably not such a big difference if one more package becomes part of the bootstrap set, but for us, being or not being in the bootstrap set matters.
We would notice before it got merged into mainline. Otherwise our users would be the first who notice that the kernel is not booting.
I actually plan to boot test each kernel pushed to the git, before actual users see it. But failure to boot will not affect subsequent attempts to build a fixed package. Hardware for that is ordered, it will not cover ppc64(le|be) though, only x86_64 (unless there is already usable qemu emulation for ppc64le?)
