Yeah - once I figured out what it was doing it was a perfect solution.
I ended up with 31 packages added to package.keywords and 12 to
package.unmask. Big time saver.

The one thing I'm not liking about it was it is that it created
/etc/portagexs which now stops me from bash auto-completing my tab
commands the way I'm used to doing it for all these years. A trade
off...
