I'll concur that gentoo is very flexible, but is still structured with stable, testing, and unstable branches for each arch. However gentoo seems to be easier to track down difficult bugs mainly because of how much control you have over what packages are installed (and how they are installed) on your system. The transparency and flexibility of the distro is what keeps me with gentoo despite of sometimes long compile times although that can be much helped with caching. It always amazes me how easy of a distro gentoo is to use despite it's flexibility. Justin -- You have 1 Moderator Point!
