Is it possible in packages.mask to mask only release
candidates/alpha/beta versions, while leaving final releases unmasked?

what is the aim of this?  To have a stable system?  In that case you
should make sure ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in make.conf does NOT have a ~

Then you may get release candidates and betas but only when they're
proven to work, or work better.

I don't wand to mask all rc/alphas/betas for all packages, but only for some.

The aim is to be able to use eg vanilla-sources versioned with 2.25, 2.25.1,
2.25.2, 2.25.3, 2.26. 2.26.1 while skipping 2.26_rcZ, 2.25.rcx, 2.27_rcX.

Thanks,

In my portage there are only rc for 26. So just add <=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.26 to your packages.keywords.
