We stabilize whatever the maintainer deems to be stable [1]. So thanks, but this is not really a bug. If you have real issues with nginx, then file a new bug about those. Thanks. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap4

Take a look at the change logs and you will see that the development releases have reported segmentation faults, that is why they are marked as developement. Works for me is not a good enough reason.
Please don't file abstract complaints about something that's documented by our policy. If you have a real issue, file bugs about that. Marking INVALID since you apparently dislike the previous resolution. NOTABUG.
