I don't want that much control, because that also carries the responsibility of ensuring I am not running a kernel with a security flaw.

It's what I'm used to doing anyway. lol You're using ~amd64 sources, which means they update frequently. I found this annoying so I only use the stable sources, even on ~amd64 systems to keep updates to a reasonable level while ensuring I don't miss important updates.

[gentoo-user] Manually updating gentoo-sources
Howdy, I found a old email from Neil, hope you see this, and I think I followed it correctly but maybe I either missed something or things have changed since those instructions were posted. What I'm wanting to do, update gentoo-sources manually and remove them manually as well but running emerge -auDN world doesn't pull in newer versions and --depclean leaves the older versions alone as well. Following the email info, I ended up with this: root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets.conf [kernels] class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet world-candidate = False files = /usr/src root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets/kernels sys-kernel/gentoo-sources root@fireball / # and this I've tried with and without: root@fireball / # cat /var/lib/portage/world_sets kernels root@fireball / # This is what I get tho: root@fireball / # emerge -auDN world Error during set creation: Redefinition of set 'kernels' (sections: 'usersets', 'kernels') These are the packages that would be merged, in order: There's nothing in the world file for gentoo-sources so it should be the sets that pulls anything in. For some reason tho, it wants to update when I run my usual update world command. That's not what I'm looking for. Did I miss something? Have things changed and I need to adjust something to the new way? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
