Hi Chris, I don't think your question can be answered as phrased. *Any* package marked with '~' is 'new', 'in testing', 'unstable', etc. Very few (in my experience) 'break' my machine, but I have a rule that any package energed as part of emerge system must be stable and I personally add ~x86 or ~amd64 only for specific packages that I want or need some new feature.
