Not a problem per say, but it will make you use packages that are 
flagged for ebuild testing (the package *should* be stable but the 
ebuild might not be). Hence you might run into some nasty bugs but they 
should be quite unfrequent.

Or rather package.keywords. package.unmask is for using packages that 
are masked in package.mask.
