Hi,

I believe that portage and ebuilds need a new feature that will mask a version 
of the ebuild for new installations, but will not force existing installs to 
be downgraded.  For example, there is currently a problem with part of the 
cvs repos used in gift 0.12.0, so the ebuild is masked.  Therefore my system 
wants to downgrade to 0.10.0.  However, as my copy of 0.12.0 is working fine 
I don't need/want to downgrade!

A quick switch in the mask of something like "dont-downgrade" or some such 
could solve this?  What do people think.
