I noticed that as well in the bug report & discussion.

Does this mean that

  echo "dev-java/blackdown-jre" >> /etc/make.profile/package.use.mask
  echo "dev-java/blackdown-jdk" >> /etc/make.profile/package.use.mask
  echo "dev-java/blackdown-java3d-bin" >> /etc/make.profile/package.use.mask

makes adding nsplugin safe to add to make.conf?

thanks,
