Sorry I was unclear - what I meant was that we wouldn't remove all
support for an fs from portage. As an example if/when reiserfs4 merges
into mainline we wouldn't be ripping out all the userland support and
vanilla-kernel support. You are completely correct regarding
gentoo-sources, though I don't believe this was the point of the
original discussion.
