Gentoo's version of stable and Debian's version of stable are fundamentally different in that Debian's stable will not break the API of an application on upgrade, while Gentoo will. I just took down a Gentoo server I haven't reinstalled in ages, and over its life I remember Postfix updates especially being a pain because of config changes from v1 to v2 and within v2.x. So don't get me wrong and think that Gentoo isn't stable enough for a server, just make sure you know what you have in mind when you say stable - there's more to it than just not crashing.
