How about

qlist -ICv | sed 's/^/=/' >/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

That will generate the initial list to prevent anything from downgrading
when you switch keywords. Then use eix-test-obsolete from time to time to
tell you what you can remove. Anything still in there are a few months
should probably be allowed to downgrade.
