It seems at least one of the problems is that with old ebuilds being stable on slow arches but not the more recent ebuilds, it is a maintenance burden to keep supporting the old ebuilds even on fast arches where it's still stable. Why not allow maintainers to drop redundant stable and even ~arch keywords from their packages? Then these old ebuilds will stay with _only_ slow arch keywords. If they were working back then, they will continue to work now, since there are not that many changes to break things as opposed to faster-moving arches.= What do you think? Please let me know if I should clarify this.
