I guess it will drawn groans, but this is largely the reason that I chose Gentoo for my server distros.
No groan here... I love the flexibility Gentoo gives... you can easily leave the primary system at 'stable', then just set certain packages to unstable for the latest/greatest.
My servers have been running nonstop for over 3 years, with just a few minor hiccups now and then that are quickly resolved by digging through logs and/or hitting google and/or the forums...
To be fair, most distros *do* have the ability to use extra 'unstable' repos, at least for most major packages, and if I wasn't using Gentoo, I would at *least* be using those...
