You're saying there's four states:
package.mask
~arch
~arch candidate for arch
arch
Putting packages in package.mask isn't a hardship for testers. I'm
not sure that's a good reason for the additional state. It's purely
a matter of
echo 'dev-util/mercurial' >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
So far I find myself agreeing with Ciaran's idea in this thread.
I don't see the point (yet) in more than three states.
Regards,
Aron
