| yeah, mixing isn't good. Pure systems are way more stable.
Now that's an interesting idea. Makes sense. It sounds like I should
either learn to live with stable packages only, or go all out testing.
This depends on how many ~packages you actually need. It's
*not* recommended that you switch to a fully ~arch system
just to get one or two unstable packages, that's why the
package.keywords file exists in the first place.
But in my case I found myself adding close to 75% of my
packages to package.keywords, at which point the number
stable packages lagging behind everything were so few that
it wasn't worth the trouble.
IOW: there's no "right" answer, but if your current setup
isn't working for you then trying something different
probably couldn't hurt.
