Hey William, 

here's my take:

Masked commit:
* a part of a bigger version bump, i.e. one of many packages that need to 
update together
* or something where I *know* that issues preventing normal function still 
exist. I.e., I want to be able to ask others for testing, but something is 
still missing and I'm actively working on it.

~arch commit: 
* I'm reasonably sure that it should work; it works for me.

Now, one can argue that work in progress should go into an overlay. That in my 
opinion makes sense for e.g. kde packages and kde overlay, or qt packages and 
qt overlay, or similar. Making a fresh overlay for one package or asking to 
add my dev overlay for one required ebuild makes no sense. 

Only my opinion...
Cheers, Andreas
