I too found and looked at breakmygentoo.net and it appears not to be much 
different than just downloading ebuilds out of bugs.gentoo.org. Kinda takes 
the joys of portage out of the picture. Seems just a lot more presentable 
than bugs.gentoo.org and a better location for those ebuilds. Still not sure 
why the dev release of gnome 2.5.x has to be there while KDE 3.2 beta is in 
the tree just masked. Seems odd. I'm a KDE person so it really doesn't matter 
other than just for understanding.

Someone in this thread said that ACCEPT_KEYWORDS isn't for unstable 
ebuilds/packages. If that's the case we don't need ACCEPT_KEYWORDS do we? I 
must have it wrong that things go from masked to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to the 
stable tree route. I'll do more reading and educate myself as to what 
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is for and why apps are flagged that way.
