It is a good point. Why Gentoo developers marked or allow to mark gnucash-2.7 branch stable in portage when the developers https://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml did not mark it STABLE It seems to me one of Gentoo developer is trying to use us a guinea pigs and the UNSTABLE "gnucash-2.7" on us. -- Thelma.
