On gentoo-dev there is a discussion going on about a sort of gentoo  
stable tree. Chris Gianelloni (if i remember it correctly) stated  
that he wanted to create a 2007.1 tree with the 2007.1 release and  
only put security fixes and required packages of security fixes in...

I did not make it clear: He wants to take a snapshot of the tree when  
2007.1 will be released and then like above.

_But_ there are like 50 more unread messages of the thread in my  
mailbox, so might be this is not true anymore. Look at the gentoo-dev  
archives.
