8 Here's a data point you may, or may not, find relevant. in 16 years of
9 using Gentoo exclusively, the only one time I used stable on one machine
10 for about 2 years it ended up being much more of a pain than unstable.
11 Actually, I can't say I have anything to complain about unstable. On my
12 critical machines I snapshot the system subvolume before I update. I can't
13 remember the last time I had to roll back.

15 I'm sure most will disagree with me but since you're indirectly asking for
16 my opinion here it is: I think people working on stable are wasting their
17 time. But who am I to stop them...
