I wouldn't expect people to run a Gentoo system with all packages on unstable.
I tend to only select specific packages as unstable when I really need that 
version.

I wouldn't be surprised to have to upgrade a substantial set of packages on a 
daily basis with that setting.

Why do you specify you want the latest versions and then get surprised when 
you get new updates on a daily basis?
