The problem with that is that we don't track the keyword status of an
arch anywhere in profiles, so tools like ekeyword or ebuild-mode in
Emacs have no way of obtaining that information (other than hardcoding
it).

We tried to rectify the situation in bug 304133, but it didn't work out.

Either that, or add another file to the profiles dir.
