While it's not recommended nor officially supported I know of many people 
doing this. Especially mixing ~amd64 desktop packages with a stable base 
system shouldn't cause much trouble.

I personally run a whole ~amd64 system and just stabilised some toolchain 
packages (glibc). However, I have no problem if something breaks, as this 
usually happens at compile time..
