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.
