This means that Gentoo has 15 years of experience with providing

last e-mail, it's the analogous "you can learn from the XSS
vulnerabilities that Firefox has solved along the way". If they've been
doing it for 15 years, they have expertise in this problem space and we
can learn from that.
This only works to a limited degree in Gentoo, and even then, if you want a
stable system, you can't really install different versions of packages as X
version of Y package will break package Z, generally not in the ebuild either.
