With Ubuntu Core you will be able to make your own kernel, but then you
must take responsibility for it on your device. Alternatively, there can
be a certified kernel which will get security updates from Canonical,
which anybody can use on any "thing". We still need to do a little more
work to have that distinction clearly articulated - the community images
you see are one-offs by folks who were digging in behind the scenes to
make stuff work.

In a couple of weeks I expect this will look like:

 * you take the kernel source tree with snapcraft.yaml and make your own
device kernel snap
 * you use ubuntu-image with that to make your own device image
 * voila
