That "admission" was allready made when development-sources was first
incarnated. Also the kernel is something different than freetype. The issue
is not with the package management system. The problem is in a big part
caused by the fact that people do not like to say 'emerge
\<vanilla-sources-2.5' to get the stable kernel. The kernel is a beast on
it's own and giving it some extra attention should not be a problem.
