That's a good question. I suppose the only benefit would be having |
| 12 |
portage manage the package. I just looked and all vanilla-sources |

I would think the only advantage is you wouldn't have to worry about |
| 16 |
portage removing kernel sources you're using. (As they could not be |
| 17 |
reinstallable if the package has been removed from the tree.) |
