glibc is on a known release period (~every 6 months).  i posted some time ago 
that Gentoo will be rolling along as well:
 - have a version in the stable pipeline
 - have a version in the unstable pipeline
 - have a version in the masked pipeline
as versions in the lower pipeline clear out, the next one will be moving into 
place.  so while exact times haven't been posted (because i don't have them), 
glibc versions will continue to be released, so maintainers can't sit on their 
bugs.  2.15 has gone stable which means there's now room for 2.16 which has 
largely settled down.
