The official release is an indication of the life of a distribution or
package.  Look at one of Keith Packard's reasons for leaving Xfree86
(slow release cycle), or Gnome's recent push to speed their release
cycle.

I know that I can still use the latest install CD, and do an update.
However, the install CD is only one indication of Gentoo's problems.
The out of date website, the newsletter releases, the sad responses to
the "how are we doing" question on gentoo-dev...  Anyway I digress...
