[gentoo-dev] Suggestion: Portage should not mask packages globally, but only for some arches

[Nikos Chantziaras]

It seems that KDE 4.6 is still hard-masked for x86 and amd64 because 
it's waiting for ppc and ppc64 keywords.  I believe it would be 
beneficial for people if they wouldn't have to wait for arches that 
don't affect them at all.

It seems better if the packages can be unmasked for x86 and amd64 and 
only kept hard-masked for ppc/ppc64 while they wait for keywords. 
Otherwise, all arches will feel the effect of the slowest one without 
there being a need for this.
