The first question is are you dealing with a server or a desktop? If it's a
server: If it ain't broke don't fix it, is a great rule. If it's your
desktop, Well, I emerge -u world almost every day on my notebook, and I'm
also set to use unstable packages, and it's never bitten me too hard. It bit
me slightly with the Gawk problem in the last couple of weeks, but that was
fairly easily corrected.
