The official release is an indication of the life of a distribution or package. Look at one of Keith Packard's reasons for leaving Xfree86 (slow release cycle), or Gnome's recent push to speed their release cycle. I know that I can still use the latest install CD, and do an update. However, the install CD is only one indication of Gentoo's problems. The out of date website, the newsletter releases, the sad responses to the "how are we doing" question on gentoo-dev...
