The reason Gentoo recommends upgrading to 2.7.x is that 2.6.x requires an old version of libwebkit and Gentoo wants to get rid of that dependency. 2.7.x uses up-to-date libwebkit. Unfortunately 2.7.x is an unstable release series with frequent releases and Gentoo isn’t keeping up: 2.7.4 was from the end of January, we just released 2.7.6 yesterday and will release 2.7.7 next weekend. If everything goes well 3.0 will follow the weekend after that. I’d recommend *not* installing 2.7.4. 2.7.6 is much more stable, but there are still a couple of significant bugs that we know about. If you want to be a beta-tester you could install that, but if you just want to get your accounting done you should wait for 3.0.
