  # Portage 2.2 is masked due to known bugs in the
  # package sets and preserve-libs features.
  =sys-apps/portage-2.2_pre

 That depends on the severity of the known bugs, and the likelihood of
 meeting them. The only real bug I've had is that I had to emerge
 @preserved-rebuild several times, after one update, before it would go
 away. A waste of CPU cycles but hardly a stability threat.

 Top Oxymorons Number 12: Plastic glasses


 I just upgraded to the latatest portage version rc23 or similar. Added the
set file linked in the KDE 4.x guide in /etc/portage/sets/kde. also unmasked
all the packes also linked in the same guide I see a set called kde, but
still i can't install kde because i get blocks and non-existant sets... so
better i will wait to instll kde and also use the new version of portage.

You are doing something wrong, as that exact same config works here. Do you 
have the kde-testing overlay installed? Did you emerge @kde-4.2 or emerge 
@kde? The latter will give you you the latest unstable snapshots which may or 
may not work. Use these links, etc:

a...@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 85 Feb 11 17:15 /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde-4.2 -

a...@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 76 Feb 26 09:46 /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde-4.2 - 
/var/portage/local/layman/kde-testing/Documentation/package.unmask/kde-4.2.0

Then copy the set file from $PORTDIR/local/layman/kde-testing/sets/kde-4.2 to 
/etc/portage/sets, then run

emerge -av @kde-4.2

If you don't have the overlay installed, I can send you then files as 
attachments if you want.

  Hi! I want to update portage to get new features, mostly sets

No, but they are stable, and required for sets as the OP wanted.

Why is the word abbreviation so long?
  
   Doesn't look really stable:
  
   # Zac Medico zmed...@gentoo.org (05 Jan 2009)
   # Portage 2.2 is masked due to known bugs in the
   # package sets and preserve-libs features.
  
   =sys-apps/portage-2.2_pre
 
  as long as you don't use the preserved-libs feature (turn it off in
  make.conf) you'll be fine.

 And what about the sets bug? Is it safe to use sets?

so far I haven't hit any set bugs - and I am using them a lot.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259684

ok - I hit that one. But there is an easy workaround - editing the file by 
hand.

you should look for portage bugs in the gentoo bugzilla and decide for 
yourself.

That depends on the severity of the known bugs, and the likelihood of
meeting them. The only real bug I've had is that I had to emerge
@preserved-rebuild several times, after one update, before it would go
away. A waste of CPU cycles but hardly a stability threat.
