So it would be OK to mark something "stable" even tho portage itself doesn't work with it? Sorry, this makes no sense to me. I run stable for the most part and having a package that portage depends on that is not stable just sounds a little like putting the cart before the horse. See some of the other replies as to why this is a not so good idea. Dale :-) :-)
