8 Looks like your're 100% right. One user does not a stable release
9 make. The open PHP bugzillas seem to be roughly in three groups:
10
11 1. Need testing with (pick one of a dozen major PHP addon packages).
12 Users could certainly help with this.
13 2. PHP5 ebuild problems (ebuild not working yet and/or dependancy
14 problems with other packages).
15 3. Actual failure to compile and/or run with certain packages.
16
17 I'm sure developers will eventually get to 2 & 3, but there are too
18 many bugs and too little time.
19
20 Since many of these bug reports aren't even assigned yet, I would say
21 that PHP5 is certainly not a stable package for Gentoo.
22
23 My $.02. Quichurbellyachin and get testing and debugging if you want a
24 stable release.
