Yeah, I imagine for lots of people this list looks short. For Meino it might look huge. In my case all my machines (8 of them) run stable mainly because I like the stability it gives me. I then add only the few ~amd64 things I think I that specific machine needs, and in the case of this thread, a package or two that require babysitting until the devs get caught up. I try to run eix-test-obsolete after every update to catch when they fix things, as in the case of dev-lang/R. When the version I have installed becomes stable I try to remember to remove the corresponding entry from package.keywords, but I don't always remember. - Mark
