As an arch team, SPARC would like to move to modular X. However if
packages are broken by this unmasking, it *will* be masked on SPARC
until such a time that this is fixed. Also a complaint will be filed
with developer relations and QA as this blatantly and knowingly defies
the policies regarding keywording that were put in place to
intentionally prohibit this kind of behavior.
I'm not trying to be a party pooper here, but breaking the portage tree
should never be an acceptable answer.
