36 I wouldn't expect people to run a Gentoo system with all packages on unstable.
37 I tend to only select specific packages as unstable when I really need that
38 version.
39
40 I wouldn't be surprised to have to upgrade a substantial set of packages on a
41 daily basis with that setting.
42
43 Why do you specify you want the latest versions and then get surprised when
44 you get new updates on a daily basis?
