[gentoo-user] How to manage package.keywords for greater system reliability?

Hi. I used to think it was safe to use ~arch packages (through package.keywords) on a stable system until I saw bug #257047 - GCC 4.3 didn't have a strict enough glibc dependency. And comment #15 in that bug report is: "[...] we don't test or support half-stable half-testing toolchai
