Depends on your repo. :) Gentoo had wordpress-3.8.1 in the repository on Jan 24th, one day after the upstream release. Granted, the don't have a stable branch on that package at all, and if they did that would definitely lag (at least a month by policy except for security bugs, but usually more than that). But Gentoo doesn't tie individual package updates to a larger release schedule. Individual packages (including libraries) get updated when their maintainers do the work.
