Apps now need to be tested with all four available kernels before allowing them to repos?

No, that is nonsense -- that kind of control is possible only among components of a closed system. The only sensible way to do it here is the one that was practiced: develop and test with the official kernel, official components. If there are problems with community add-ons, fix them as problems appear, if feasible.
And what should be done if official packages DO HAVE errors and mainstream [s]developers[/s] managers DON'T WANT to fix them?

You say it's nonsense, it's not possible... As a gentoo user I say: it is possible and it works quite well.
