There are many interdependencies or group dependencies (kernel & dbus-hal-ivman; hal & baselayout (got affected due to unmasking "baselayout" then masking due to a Bug, which went way but not the mask, etc. etc.). As i now have many ~x86 packages seriously think going to full ~x86-system. The worst thing which can happens with a testing system is when some bug get fixed/refixed/fixed again etc. during a day or two and you'll have to emerge the app several times. Or a nasty Bug (bash-3.1). Rumen
