It's in the part of my post you didn't quote, it stops older kernels
being depcleaned. Basically it is saying that any package with files
in /usr/src is a member of the kernels set. As emerge -n @kernels adds
that to world_sets, nothing with files in /usr/src will even get
depcleaned. It means I can keep as many or as few kernels as I want
without having to fudge it in world.
