Well, you could also consider that the ebuilds all belong to the same
product -- portage tree. They share the same cvs module, to say
something in defense of this statement. Therefore, a new version of an
ebuild can be considered to be an update for the "portage tree" product.
And "portage tree" is versioned and released -- there are daily
snapshots available for download :)
