Looks like your're 100% right. One user does not a stable release
make. The open PHP bugzillas seem to be roughly in three groups:

1.  Need testing with (pick one of a dozen major PHP addon packages).
Users could certainly help with this.
2. PHP5 ebuild problems (ebuild not working yet and/or dependancy
problems with other packages).
3. Actual failure to compile and/or run with certain packages.

I'm sure developers will eventually get to 2 & 3, but there are too
many bugs and too little time.

Since many of these bug reports aren't even assigned yet, I would say
that PHP5 is certainly not a stable package for Gentoo.

My $.02. Quichurbellyachin and get testing and debugging if you want a
stable release.
