More management questions:

So would I be correct in saying that the "bleeding edge" portion in Gentoo 1.0 
is now equivalent to the unstable packages in Gentoo 1.4? 

And that someone who installs Gentoo by default won't get an unstable/untested 
bleeding edge package unless they configure the system to install unstable 
packages?

Thanks,
Brett
