IME, the same is true of running stable.

I saw comments somewhere recently about the GLSA-releasing process
having a bottleneck somewhere, but there weren't details.  I think I
was reading bugs.gentoo.org, but I'm not sure.

The stabilization bug[1] for GLSA 201203-12[2] has the fix stabilized on
all arches, and a GLSA request made, on 16 January but the GLSA wasn't
issued until 6 March.  I don't know if that's an anomaly or not.

There's a lot I don't know in this post, heh.  I guess I'm requesting
comments.
