U folks are aware of the fact that installed sources is rather vaguely
coupled with running kernel, right?

No, I'm not running archkernel on gentoo, but it would be possible.
It's also fine to poke around in linus' sources and cross compile w/o
ever running the damn thing or needing firmware from /lib/firmware.

Anyway, please do not force-reinstall of about 400k kernel source files
to just fix any USE flag constellation.
I'm not saying --newuse, just people forgetting to set the flag.

Last thought, we have maintainer-needed in bugzilla to handle
unmaintained packages (and I'm looking at these from time to time, maybe
I should start a maintainer-needed herd).

/$(get_libdir) vs /lib is the wrong method without effect,
non-multilib/x86 installs to /lib, multilib is linked to /lib.
So please, stop using dramatizing this and use it as alibi for your
otherwise justified plans.
