[gentoo-dev] Globally masking the sssd USE-flag on sudo and enabling it on supported architectures only

[lejonet]

Hi gentoo-dev,

I recently had a bout with sudo and sssd, and found that the problem was that
sudo wasn't sssd aware and the reason we don't have a USE-flag for that is due
to some lingering bugs.

To partially solve this I propose that we mask the sssd USE-flag,
globally and only unmask it on supported architectures that we have already
confirmed it working on (like amd64 and x86).
This prevents us from having to withdraw keywords on a rather important
package on minor arches on which sssd and sudo haven't been tested yet.

Dropping keywords on sudo seems unnecessary and very disruptive but allowing
sssd bugs to linger isn't a great solution either[1], as in this particular
issue, a sudo bug is depending on the lingering sssd bug.[2]

I can do it later today, this weekend kindof blew up so I didn't have time to
do it.
