I beg to differ. If you run a kernel called CUSTOM, it won't work. And if
you run a custom kernel called GENERIC, the moment you upgrade, you custom
kernel is no longer custom.

All of this aside, I would be interested in hearing how you are able to
avoid non-custom updates to your custom kernel when the kernel or os patches
are distributed by the update servers.
