[gentoo-user] --depclean wants to remove gentoo-sources

Hi,
Has emerge --depclean always removed older gentoo-sources or has
something changed? I don't remember this operation. Maybe I'm
forgetting something I already know on this subject but I'm drawing a
blank this afternoon.

I'm curious if there is a way to mask package from --depclean
removing them. In this case it wants to remove my running kernel tree
before I've updated to a newer kernel.

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Neil. Adding specific versions to world is fine solution for me.
