17 No, because as I said in a previous post, the matter is that when a
18 newer version 3.10.X is in the tree, and you do an update of the world
19 set, the newer kernel source of the 3.10.X series won't appear as an update.
20 You'll have to emerge it again "manually" and likewise "manually"
21 unmerge the older one.
