There are a few reasons for that not being the case but of them I'd go
for the fact that in order to get stabilished a package must have been
on ~arch for some time and have no known bugs. Then the arch teams have
to test the packages and then the packages get finally stabilished.

We can't, for obvious reasons, try to stabilize all the packages we get
since that would saturate the arch teams' resources, as a result we
generaly ask for the stabilization in the case of gentoo-sources of
those that have proved to be quite stable for some time.
