13 glibc is on a known release period (~every 6 months). i posted some time ago
14 that Gentoo will be rolling along as well:
15 - have a version in the stable pipeline
16 - have a version in the unstable pipeline
17 - have a version in the masked pipeline
18 as versions in the lower pipeline clear out, the next one will be moving into
19 place. so while exact times haven't been posted (because i don't have them),
20 glibc versions will continue to be released, so maintainers can't sit on their
21 bugs. 2.15 has gone stable which means there's now room for 2.16 which has
22 largely settled down.
