I come from Debian's land. They have the stable branch that I had been
using. And I used to get the updates only when they are matured and can
do no harm to the system. Gentoo in this aspect is more like the testing
branch of Debian even though I set up amd64 (stable) keyword in my
portage configuration. And I doubt that following upstream repos would
add stability to my system. At least until I make myself expert with
Gentoo.
