I've been using vanilla-sources since September 2009, in all my
machines. I use systemd, so having the latest kernel version doesn't
hurt; a new vanilla-sources version is usually ready a few hours after
Linus releases a new kernel, and gentoo-sources takes at least a few
weeks, sometimes more.
As to how do I maintain them, I wrote a little utility that I've been
using from the last year or so:
https://github.com/canek-pelaez/kerninst
With it, after I install a new kernel using the normal portage
procedure, I just do:
eselect kernel set <new-version>
kerninst
And that's it. Be aware that you need to provide your own kernel configuration.
Regards.
