I think you can do emerge -uU world, -U flag should prevent unstable ebuilds

At least it works for me, im using nvidia 4xxx ebuilds which are normally
masked. But with -U flag i can emerge world without them being downgraded.
For some reason this flag isnt in emerge man page, but when you do
emerge --help, you get following output.
--upgradeonly (-U short option)
Updates packages, but excludes updates that would result in a
lower version of the package being installed. SLOTs are
considered at a basic level.ou get following output.
Hope this helps.
