Well, I wouldn't use "~x86" for critical applications like glibc, gcc
or maybe the whole KDE suite (even if others do so and claim to be all
right ;)), but I do set "~x86" for specific applications like the
dev-series of gimp and fluxbox, since they are pretty stable and won't
kill my system in case of failure.
Anyway, it's always a good idea to do "emerge -pv" when installing
with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", since some dependencies to be merged
make you think twice about upgrading to "unstable". ;)
After all, we all have our backups, don't we? ;)
Regards,
Jens
