[gentoo-user] Confused about latest gentoo-sources

[jerry]

I did an emerge sync a few days ago. If I run emerge -s gentoo- sources 
I get:

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
      Latest version available: 2.4.31-r1
      Latest version installed: 2.6.14-r2
      Size of downloaded files: 31,219 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.kernel.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/
      Description: Full sources including the Gentoo patchset for the 
2.4 kernel tree
      License:     GPL-2

sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
      Latest version available: 2.6.15.1
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of downloaded files: 38,905 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.kernel.org
      Description: Full sources for the Linux kernel
      License:     GPL-2

Do I have to switch to vanilla-sources now to get the latest kernel? 
Won't I lose some newer features if I use 2.4.31-r1?

If I understand the above output correctly I have already installed the 
gentoo-sources kernel, but now they have moved back to the 2.4 series. 
Where can I find out what is going on?

Thanks for any clarification.

Jerry
