I just ran "emerge -p --depclean" and the only thing it wants to remove is

I have 5 versions of gentoo-sources installed, and the one it wants to
ditch
is the one I'm actually using. I can understand why it wouldn't care
about
that, but why not:
2.6.31-r10 which is no longer in the tree
any of the others, which are marked in exactly the same way as the
victim it picked? Some are older, and some are newer than this
victim. What gives?
I'm just wondering about how --depclean picked on this one of the five?

Did you emerge them by the exact version at some point? If you emerge
the kernel and specify the version, it is recorded in the world file
along with the version and --depclean will not remove it since it is
specifically listed. I have done this in the past to keep the current
running kernel installed and --depclean not wanting to remove it.
