As I said, I switched to vanilla-sources more than five years ago; and
I remember that was the case back then.

Certainly I should not have assumed that it was still that way now; I
apologize for that.

I was probably using stable, yes. Afterwards, it was decided that
vanilla-sources would be always be ~arch, so probably I kept the idea
in my mind that gentoo-sources was lagging much more than
vanilla-sources, since with ~arch vanilla-sources is updated almost
immediately.

You are right, I apologize for the confussion.
