Devs don't seem to like bug reports involving mixes of stable and unstable. I was mildly scolded for filing a bug report against xemacs' failing to build with libpng15, when xemacs was stable, and libpng15 wasn't, yet. I'm trying to being slightly more conservative about what I unmask. Between autounmask and specific desires to be on top of some packages, it's not easy. For example, stable WINE hasn't built since February 2011... ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354745 ) Anyone who needs WINE for any reason needs to use their unstable 1.3.x tree. This isn't expected to be fixed until this coming *March*, when ICU 49 goes generally available. /rant
