I run mostly mixed-keywords systems, and i noticed that the blocker
messages were entirely useless and confusing, but that i just needed
to keyword dev-lang/python-exec due to the fact that it was in the
deplist of one of my other keyworded packages.  After I did that
"emerge -uDN @world" just worked.  Note that dev-python/python-exec
had already been keyworded for the same reason, and I didn't remove
that keyword.
