A lot of outstanding bugs seem to affect only a few special users.

Like those, using KDE. But I wouldn't say, that those a just a
"few".

Yet again, Gentoo should make a 4th category by making "stable" = "server"
& splitting "testing" into "newly unmasked" & "desktop-ready":

Why? ~ is testing. The only problem I had, which caused me to
start the short thread, was, that the gcc upgrade doc *used to*
say, that upgrading from gcc 3.4.x to 4.1.x implied no risk.

many "testing" packages today are in fact desktop-ready,
ie the remaining bugs will be rare & easy to recover from.

Yep, quite easy to recover - recompile everything.
