then you're using the 2007 layout.... when you update world you update many
system packages, as gcc, libtool or baselayout.... the experimental issue is
only is you use the tilde packages, which are still unstable.... you should
not use this as an universal keyword in make.conf, but the packages that you
need and that are still under the unstable branch should be put in the
/etc/portage/package.keywords file.... if you're using only stable packs you
will not have any issue due to experimental things.... at least for what i
know of it....
