I have seen this with other packages before. =20 Keep in mind, portage is maintained by Gentoo devs so they could release=20 a version, see something that isn't working quite like they want, make=20 some changes and push them out for upgrades. I would much rather them=20 do that than wait a couple days while people are using a "buggy"=20 package. Only thing worse is to upgrade, then downgrade, wait a few=20 days and have to upgrade again.
