Of course not. Nothing is perfect, and life's a bitch. However there is less
chance that my system will get messed up if I upgrade Mandrake using urpmi than
with Gentoo. It's the same with having the latest and greatest on any system.
Mandrake Cooker or Debian Unstable/Testing have a better chance of killing my
system too.

Then what is your point? You just finnished arguing that you need the latest and
greatest before it is in binary form, but by the time you are done waiting, the
RPMs and DEBs will already have been released. Are you arguing against yourself
here?
