That will be the next thing he wants to stabilize without testing.  I
been using Gentoo for more than 5 years and this is the first time I
ever recall someone wanting to mark something stable that has not been
tested for quite some time and in the normal way.  Add in that this is
something that portage itself depends on, this just sounds like a really
bad idea.  I hope someone puts a hold on this.
