Well, the idea is currently that we will provide such releases with extra QA 
for especially enterprice users. Basically such a release will be a snapshot 
of the then current stable tree with necessary QA etc. This certainly does 
not mean that we will stop offering a stable and testing tree. It is actually 
expected that most developers will run testing trees, but it is an effort to 
make gentoo an option for enterprise users that want to be able to run 
updates without fear of things changing.
