Why not? Its a great feature. My (two) systems have been running |
| 12 |
entirely ~x86 ever since I installed them (years ago), and I've never |
| 13 |
had any real problems. Only rarely do I have to recompile, or |
| 14 |
downgrade, but usually it's all handled by portage anyway. |

Standard disclaimer applies: just because it works now, doesn't mean it |
| 17 |
will work in the future; not for production / isolated servers, etc. |

Note that from the comments before you modify ~arch: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
"... '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which includes the unstable, in |
| 22 |
testing, packages ... 'Broken' packages will not be added to testing ... |
| 23 |
IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY |
| 24 |
[ACCEPT_KEYWORDS]". |
