There is no need to package.mask if proper if -logic is used, like, for
example,

if [[ ${PV} == 9999* ]]; then
inherit git-r3
KEYWORDS=""
else
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~x86"
fi

Then you can just `cp foo-9999.ebuild foo-1.2.3.ebuild` and it'll have
the KEYWORDS
ready, and 1.2.3 and 9999 ebuilds can be identical

That's what this thread was originally about... That's how x265's ebuild
work, just like eg.
media-libs/xine-lib or sys-fs/udev ebuilds does

(It just seemed this was unclear to some replying in this thread.)
