That was mentioned last week.  I responded

    I tried that a while ago.  The problem is that then portage believe
    those packages aren't on my stable system and says that I must merge
    an unstable package.

    Specifically excluding the buggy (old) version of webkit-gtk,
    portage wants me to merge a newish (testing) version of gnucash that
    uses a solid new version of webkit-gtk.  I have the new version of
    webkit-gtk, but really want to delay installing the testing gnucash.
