Stable and unstable keywords are a hack on top of a version control

Umm, I'm not an ebuild dev, but how would users mix stable and unstable
packages in such a case?
They would probably have to check out two trees. But the two trees
combined would likely be the same size as the single tree now, since a
lot of packages have at least two ebuilds available, one ~arch and one
stable.
The real showstopper in my mind is that having a single ~arch and a
single stable tree means you can't selectively stable things on
different architectures at different times.
