Yeah, I imagine for lots of people this list looks short. For Meino it
might look huge. In my case all my machines (8 of them) run stable
mainly because I like the stability it gives me. I then add only the
few ~amd64 things I think I that specific machine needs, and in the
case of this thread, a package or two that require babysitting until
the devs get caught up.

I try to run eix-test-obsolete after every update to catch when they
fix things, as in the case of dev-lang/R. When the version I have
installed becomes stable I try to remember to remove the corresponding
entry from package.keywords, but I don't always remember.
