A warning sounds great to me, but it shouldn't be *too* obnoxious since there are valid uses of ACCEPT_KEYWORDS (quick testing, esp. with -pv). I think the main reason ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is still used is people don't know the alternatives and there's quite a lot of places that still recommend it (removed a reference from some wiki the other day for instance). So I'd like a warning, but more of the "hey, you're using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, sure you don't want package.keywords instead (see "man portage")" kind than the """ *** WARNING *** ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is known to be broken. It is highly *** WARNING *** recommended that you use /etc/portage.keywords instead. *** WARNING *** *** WARNING *** Make sure you have a backup. Continuing in 10, 9... """ kind :) -- Marien.
