Arch-Linux kernel

Dear Archers
Parabola Linux uses Linux libre kernel, does that mean that this is directly in 'as is' condition as released by Linus?
Is the Arch-linux kernel patched by Arch developers?
Is any distro using the Kernel as released directly by Linus in 'as is' condition

You can see the patches.

Yes, but not the major ones. E.g. Fedora's kernel git, and koji - look inside at all the patches.

It's even worse for glibc, which needs loads of patches applied to the released versions to be stable.
