It's often the case that those ebuilds in principle work, but there are oth= er=20 reasons for not marking stable yet. Some packages for example can have=20 upgrade problems for stable users while being stable for testing (by benefi= t=20 of allready having passed such upgrade problems). Masking the ebuild is not= =20 really an option (causing testing users to go through unnecessary hoops=20 again), while marking stable is also no option.
