This seems as good a place as any to mention one of my many
ideas. ...which are usually ignored, but I might have a good
one someday. How about a new KEYWORDS flag to mark known-crapulent
packages. Playing off the use of "~arch" (which I read as "maybe arch"),
use "!arch" (which could be read "not arch") to mark packages which are
somewhere between useless and alpha, but happen to be worth watching
and developing. It would also be a great way to move the hard-masking
features of packages.mask into the relevant ebuild. Looks like that
might simplify a chunk of portage.py, too.
