IMHO not really. |

Nearly every system I run or administer is stable base plus selected ~arch |
| 12 |
packages of local interest. The degree of ~arch varies (my own boxes tend to |
| 13 |
have more, those I run for others less), but on the whole this is a fully |
| 14 |
workable combination. |

And no I dont really worry about EAPI=6, since as far as I can remember |
| 17 |
portage outputs a fat message "Masked by EAPI" once a package with EAPI too |
| 18 |
new for portage is required. |

|

[Most of my systems also run ~arch portage by default. Rarely any problems.] |
