That's because the feature as it is is useless -- it doesn't sign the complete code path, just the ebuilds themselves. No eclasses, no bashrc. Robin H. Johnson has been working on an updated proposal to do it right.
Sure, we've got all the latest versions. Why would we mention them in the release announcement, though? They aren't features of the release because they're not on the CD. Here's a quick sample of what's available on my system (running testing): openoffice 2.4.1, postgresql 8.3.1, kde 4.0.5, gnome 2.22.1.
Yes, the old installation method will remain possible. In fact, the installer just duplicates exactly what you would otherwise do manually by following the handbook -- no more, no less. At least not yet. =)

Sure it does. If it were stagnant, all the packages would be two years old. Instead you can install kde 4, the latest openoffice, gnome, etc.

Yep -- the meaning of LiveCD has changed in the past couple of years from "Any bootable Gentoo CD" to "An X-capable Gentoo CD."
