Ah, ok so there is not restriction on using any of the
the boolean operators in any config file underneath
/etc/portage? as section 5 does not mention any....

This is my (mis)conception, although, as you have suggest,
there are (gentoo) cultural norms that do suggest
certain boolean operations should not be used,
in say for example, package.keywords?


I'm mostly running stable with exceptions being enabled
via the /etc/portage file structure. Usually it's small,
but now with kde4, BLOAT is my modus operandi, 
not by choice......
