True, but Gentoo has never really guaranteed much of anything at all. In my experience stable with a few ~arch packages tends to work just fine, and that is the configuration I typically use. Certainly I know that any packages that I maintain work fine on a stable system. I always figured that this should be the focus of testing, since stable is the ultimate target for anything we deploy. If a package happens to break on ~arch that isn't as big a deal, since that is what ~arch users are signing up for. Such issues should be fixed, of course. -- Rich
