Because the gentoo developers are very timid in marking new versions of packages as stable. This philosophy works well for packages that are mostly stable. It doesn't work all that well with things that are being improved rapidly, such as lvm. Putting the following lines in /etc/portage/package.keywords will cause gentoo to use the newest versions of these packages: sys-libs/device-mapper ~x86 sys-fs/lvm2 ~x86 Interestingly, the kernel mentioned is rather update on the kernel patches.
