They're not "unstable", they are "testing", and that only applies to the |
| 8 |
ebuild itself, not the upstream package. If you want the latest versions, |
| 9 |
you need to run ~arch. Any distro that puts brand new packages (with the |
| 10 |
exception of security fixes) into its stable package tree has thrown all |
| 11 |
concept of QA out of the window. |
