I run ~amd64 but always run whatever the latest packaged KDE is available. |

Unmasking all of KDE would fit in your category I guess, but I think the |
| 26 |
discussion with TGL tied with package.unmask would solve that. The only |
| 27 |
other times I run into masked packages are those that are missing an amd64 |
| 28 |
keyword. |

I don't really want a real world example. You seemed to want one. |

Heh. This made me laugh. If "negative" means that I try to be pro-active by |
| 41 |
searching for problems, "pessimistic" means that I do find a lot of problems, |
| 42 |
and "whining" means that I keep going back to points that haven't been |
| 43 |
addressed, then why sure I am! ;) |
