As has been stated, this implies that Gentoo QA has tested the packages and found them to be reasonably safe for use. Although stable kernels *have* been tested by many people before use, Gentoo QA has *not* (officially) tested them, at least not on every architecture. On a technical level, it's not that hard to put "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" in your package.accept_keywords.
