You're not going to be asked to keyword the whole tree, that's the
difference ;-)

I think we have not enough feedback from users about this. Either
Bugzilla is not the right tool, or we don't encourage users enough to
ask for keywords when they need them. Currently, some people assume
that "if a user from $arch needed this package, he'd have requested
keywords", but that's wrong.
