Okay, I fail to understand this - the developers feel that they aren't ready to be marked stable... so they aren't marked stable... you think they should be simply because.... what? upstream said its the stable release? that makes it less buggy? I don't understand all these people who constantly bitch about how "slow" things are to go "stable" but refuse to use anything but stable.... If a developer doesn't feel the package isn't ready to go stable... it doesn't go stable. Remember there are other configurations out there beside your own. If you want something "stable" go use a distro where everything is identical. They only need to work out the bugs for the exact settings that they specify that you get the priviledge of using.

Yeah, but why fork when you can continue to just leech of Gentoo's infrastructure?
