Well, we don't want the LiveCD stuff baked into the Gentoo source - or any 
kernel.  The point of the kernel building section is to produce a kernel for 
our systems - not a generic, safe, will work anywhere one.  To make a useful 
kernel  means we select things like file systems, peripheral  support, etc.  
In my case I don't use gentoo-sources but run xfs-sources because I want xfs 
support.  I also have different peripherals, processors, and motherboards 
then you or others do so I need to select different options to make the 
kernel useful.
