That was mentioned last week. I responded
I tried that a while ago. The problem is that then portage believe
those packages aren't on my stable system and says that I must merge
an unstable package.
Specifically excluding the buggy (old) version of webkit-gtk,
portage wants me to merge a newish (testing) version of gnucash that
uses a solid new version of webkit-gtk. I have the new version of
webkit-gtk, but really want to delay installing the testing gnucash.
