Well, I run unstable portage here and it seems stable and reliable to 
me.  I know they are adding things and fixing things pretty regular but 
most packages do that anyway and a lot of them are marked as stable.

I read somewhere that the reason some of the later versions of portage 
are not stable is not because the new ones are not ready but because 
they want more testing of the old versions.  Not sure why that is tho.
