Not only *can* you, but you absolutely *must* do this if you're making
the changes.  The profiles aren't some black box that nobody can touch.
The only thing anyone asks is that you know the ramifications of your
actions.  Asking here and getting sound advice should suffice for
determining whether something is worth doing and the proper solution.
*Not* adding these yourself means pawning work off on someone else, and
possibly breaking (at least) your packages, and a violation of policy
(the "don't break the tree" one).

Yes.  After all, they *may* be keyworded on any arch.  It isn't like the
hardware/software *can't* run on those arches.
