Even less: The discussion in this part of the thread was only about the implicit connection of package.accept_keywords with *use.stable.mask, i.e. about removing the side effect of unmasking USE-flags by these files. > we don't need to retroactively remove them from PMS, > we just set a portage tree policy to leave them empty > and ask everyone to not use it. As I understand, this would not find any majority since developers want faster stabilization paths. I think one can live with it if it does not cause the dependency hell - and this can be avoided by removing mentioned side effect. But if done only for EAPI=6 or newer packages, in practice this side effect will remain forever.
