That would happen with ~ as well.  That is, it would stay at the -0
(rather than -1, -2, etc).  The ~ just allows gentoo version bumps -0
to -0-r1 to -0-r2 etc.  The trade-off is what happens when -0 is
stable and -0-r1 becomes keyword masked.  I prefer to go to -0-r1, but
I can understand why you might want to stay at -0.  Like you I want to
keep my box as "stable" as possible and keep my package.keyword file
small and restricted (= or ~).
