I would suggest filing a stabilisation bug for gvim, or Isn't it a bit bizarre that portage tries to force users to go unstable on such an exotic package as one of the two major text editors? This can't be good publicity for Gentoo. Yes, I know nobody is after that, but still... I couldn't find the name of the maintainer.
