11 AFAICT stage3 archives include everything of @system.

13 virtual/dev-manager usually pulls in udev, which might pull in kmod
14 (depending on USE flags) and virtual/modutils is part of system, which
15 by default uses kmod.
16 So kmod is part of system and it then requires virtual/linux-sources as
17 a dependency, so they are now part of system as well.

19 That wasn't the case some days ago, and IMHO linux-sources should not be
20 part of @system in the future.
