I don't. I only upgrade if I need to or am feeling like it. I like gentoo for 
it's system not for the bleeding stuff. Of course I like current software 
(running my desktop on newest kernel, newest nvidia drivers etc.) but I don't 
really wanna bleed :)

And there's things like the new ghostscript 7.05 ebuild which just sucks! 
(Already bugreported lets see). I won't install the whole of gimp just 
because some ebuild writer was too lazy or using gimp anyway ... :)
