I don't know if we on the *user* list really can know about the devs'
decisions. Maybe gentoo-dev list or irc channel could give better
answers? AFAIK the devs rarely reply on this list.

I found one comment which appears to be quite insightful of the
situation (I don't use mysql that much, so I have to take this at face
value), although it doesn't give exact time frames:

Eating your data is bad for a database and if that was the situation a
bit over a month ago, I wouldn't hold my breath for a stable marked
ebuild in portage for a while.
