"I'm not sure what the problem is" would probably be a better reply. |

Stable implies "not so often changing". If you really need newer packages on a |
| 16 |
system that has to be rock-solid, then keyword what you need and nothing else. |

There are many ways of doing that... |
| 19 |
* --autounmask-write (imagine a time before that!) |
| 20 |
* echo 'kde-base/*' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 21 |
* ... |
| 22 |
|

My impression is that the stable bitrot has become a lot better. Even Gnome is |
| 24 |
updating now... :D |
