You're saying there's four states:

    package.mask
    ~arch
    ~arch candidate for arch
    arch

Putting packages in package.mask isn't a hardship for testers.  I'm
not sure that's a good reason for the additional state.  It's purely
a matter of

    echo 'dev-util/mercurial' >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

So far I find myself agreeing with Ciaran's idea in this thread.
I don't see the point (yet) in more than three states.

Regards,
Aron
