I have sys-kernel/vanilla-sources in package.keywords, unversioned. So
depclean cleans away the older versions, and I keep the latest one.
I'm on 3.17.1 right now, but the moment 3.17.2 comes out I will switch
to it in all my machines: with kerninst is all of it mostly
automatized.
And with systemd, rebooting to a new kernel takes just a few seconds ;)
