Upstream CVS is the location for testing, not distros. Distributions
should have a _more_ stable version of packages than unreleased CVS, not
less.

In addition, we're in the business of packaging source, not maintaining
source. Taking on maintainance of all the source we package is
unrealistic and is not why I do Gentoo.

Thanks,
Donnie
