I agree completely.
I've been using Gentoo for more then an year updating it regularly. Most 
of the time it was fine, thanks to great Gentoo team. But sometimes I 
had to resolve errors myself. Finally, when it failed to update 
completely because python stopped working I decided to install FreeBSD. 
  Two weeks later there was another fault and I replaced my Gentoo with 
FreeBSD.
Gentoo is too flexible.
