Yeah, it probably isn't much different from doing that. I run a sort |
| 2 |
of mixed environment - ~amd64 where I need it, along with ~x86 |
| 3 |
sometimes, and then amd64 everywhere else. |

I question whether you should look at it as an 'upgrade' though. I |
| 6 |
don't. I consider it sort of a 'side grade'. It's not that ~amd64 is |
| 7 |
really 'better' in all cases. I view it as more of a tool to be used |
| 8 |
when it's needed. I go sideways into ~amd64 when certain apps seem to |
| 9 |
require me to do that. Other than that I feel fine with amd64. |

I would NOT do it in any global way. ALL times I use ~amd64 I do it |
| 12 |
within /etc/portage/package.keywords. Much easier to manage. |

That's just me.... |
