That's because one may still want to use a compiled kernel after the removal |
| 7 |
of the kernel sources. |

The second thing is that sys-kernel/gentoo-sources does only refer to the |
| 10 |
kernel sources and not to your self-made kernel. If the kernel were |
| 11 |
made/compiled by portage like any other program, portage would remove it. But |
| 12 |
unless this does not happen (and by the way is not possible yet), why should |
| 13 |
portage clean up the things it has not caused? |
