It moves us closer to upstream releases, a little more bleeding edge; a

Dropping keywords and specifying -* are a world apart of each other.
The former means that it is not ready for wide stable or testing users,
the latter means that it has been tested to not work at all;
furthermore, we need to explicitly specify which arches in that case.
