I can't find an official policy that says that a package must be moved from 
~arch after the thirty day period is complete.  To be honest, I can't find an 
official policy that says a package has to stay in ~arch for thirty days 
either.

We all do what we can manage in the time we have available.

If your expectations can't be met by Gentoo, there are plenty of commercial 
distributions out there who *do* have paid staff.  No-one's forcing you to 
use Gentoo at all ;-)

You call it 'crap' ... we call it an education.  We're trying to help you.  If 
this isn't the sort of help you find useful, then Gentoo Linux is probably 
the wrong choice for you.

If you're going to use Gentoo, it's important that you have the right 
expectations about Gentoo Linux and the *very* hard working volunteers (devs 
and users alike) who give up their free time to contribute.

Yes, lots of things could be better.  Lord knows I'm quick to be vocal about 
that myself.  But to make things better takes manpower (and womanpower ;-) 
and people willing to roll their sleeves up and get involved.

Best regards,
Stu
