I'm not sure what this header would do since you don't describe that,
but from the sound of it I'm not sure if this will help. The masking
isn't the problem by itself, but it makes that people will need to see
this message at different times, depending on when the package goes
stable and depending on what people do with their own package.keywords
file.

What I would like to happen from a user perspective is that the user is
presented with this particular news item whenever he would upgrade to
the new version of Radiant with 'emerge -D'.

Kind regards,

Hans
