As amd64 is in process of stabilizing I tend to prefer to specify
package version in /etc/portage/package.keywords, anyway this can be
trickier to maintain:
1) as time passes, and lines are added to the file, many of them are
left behind ineffective, referring to packages upgraded in the
meanwhile.
2) sometimes a downgrade is proposed because the version unmasked is
removed from portage tree, if you still want ~ version have to unmask
another specific version.
To OP I can assure a mix of amd64 and ~amd64 is really stable and has
more or less every program I need.
No real problems, I experience sporadic X lockups if I switch repeatedly
back and forth between X and quingy framebuffer.
