as you can see, a patch for the vulnerability CAN-2003-0985 has been added to the mm-sources (among others). it is also mentioned that the old ebuilds were cleaned up.

I would suggest you update both your machines to 2.6.2_rc2-r1.

which 2.6 kernel sources are most stable and can be recommended for a
stable production system (web server/mysql server).

Since I don't run a real production system I can't answer this one. But AFAIK mm-sources aren't the right choice for production systems.
