I don't know enough about the Gentoo stable/unstable releases/policy. How often does Gentoo release? Should we care about the current gentoo stable? (that's an actual question - not a troll)
The release cycle for Gentoo is package based. Each package has a maintainer and based on feedback from the community, a packages is deemed stable for an architecture when that maintainer deems it so. Some maintainers are better than others. The core things like glibc, the kernel and gcc are well maintained. It looks to me from the changelogs for gcc that there has not been a lot of testing of gcc > 4.1 on Gentoo so therefore it has not been deemed stable. (Call that poor QC if you want, I kind of like it.)
