I think the current status is OK.

1. gcl
I'd like to remove 2.6.7-r3 (it is masked). I think now it will not 
compile without extra patches.
2.6.10 is a good release. When 2.6.11 will appear, I'll add it to the 
tree. gcl will support asdf soon (maybe 2.6.11, maybe somewhat later). 
When the relevant releases of gcl and asdf will appear, I'll add +asdf USE 
flag.
Old versions of gcl were keyworded on many arches; in Debian gcl works on 
many arches now. I can only run stuff on ~amd64 and ~x86. Maybe, file a 
keywording bug for some arches? Which ones? ppc? ppc64? sparc?

2. clozurecl
There is a keywording bug for ppc and ppc64 filed by Pacho Ramos. If it 
will be ever keyworded on ppc, I'll remove the ancient openmcl from the 
tree (openmcl was renamed to clozurecl; openmcl in the tree is keyworded 
~ppc).

Yes, this is definitely a good idea.

Best wishes,
