A problem I often have after a big update is emerge -p --depclean
tells me it is going to remove my running kernel.

 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
    selected: 2.6.26-r4
   protected: none
     omitted: 2.6.25-r8 2.6.27-r10

dragonfly ~ # uname -a
Linux dragonfly 2.6.26-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 9 11:08:39 PST
2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
dragonfly ~ #

My general reaction is to remove packages by hand at this point but
today I have 30-40 and would like to protect this kernel source. Is
there a generaic way to *always* protect the kernel that is currently
running?

Thanks,
Mark
