For my part, because trying to keep a system pure amd64 stable was
simply too much trouble.  Sooner or later some package can't be
updated without going to unstable, or requires an unstable library, or
for some reason, you have to mark it as unstable in /etc/portage.  The
effect snowballs, and pretty soon I had several hundred individual
packages marked unstable.  I could have been a saint and kept my
patience; usually most of these unstable screwups are resolved within
a week or two.  But I do not have that patience, and I spent so much
time fussing with the masking that I switched the entire system to
unstable.
