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 |

for some reason, you have to mark it as unstable in /etc/portage. The |
9 |
effect snowballs, and pretty soon I had several hundred individual |
10 |
packages marked unstable. I could have been a saint and kept my |
11 |
patience; usually most of these unstable screwups are resolved within |
12 |
a week or two. But I do not have that patience, and I spent so much |
13 |
time fussing with the masking that I switched the entire system to |
14 |
unstable. |
