I can vouch for myself as such a user who often uses unstable packages to get new features or dodge bugs in the stable versions. As a general default, though, I stick with stable packages. Taking an occasional unstable package in an otherwise stable system (and obeying any revbump directives provoked by dependencies) is a legal operation that is actually supported by commit rules that prohibit stable versions from depending on unstable versions of dependencies. Why would that policy exist if mixing stable and unstable were unsupported? I don't think EAPI 6 is *that* shiny, that we need to start using it > prior to stable Portage supporting it.
