Right, which means any packages you've got set to allow "unstable" are
going to be upgraded to new unstable versions. You might be better off
actually specifying the version that works so that it doesn't get
upgraded.

Personally in a production environment (which is essentially what my
myth box is) I think emerge -u world is risky even without "unstable"
packages. If the system works why blindly upgrade everything? To me
that's just asking for breakage. So I only manually upgrade the stuff
I feel will be beneficial. Of course, to each his own...

I'm running 6629 with my FX5200. What sort of card are you using?
