Typically, Gentoo maintainers leave new versions in ~arch for some time so they can be tested by a broad set of people. Stabilization bugs are normally not filed until a given version has spent at least 30 days in ~arch. See GLEP 40 for details on this process. https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0040.html
