You're right - could the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS be only used for the troublesome packages?

That will update every package to the latest ~x86 version, and cause them
all to downgrade again the next time you emerge world. As this includes
packages that are both critical and hate being downgraded, like glibc,
this is a really bad idea.

You would have to really hate someone to want to put them through this.
