If you do not use ~arch (i.e. ~x86) routinely you'll be installing stable 
packages.  If you use ~arch for everything you're experimenting <G>.  I do 
NOT have ~x86 in my /etc/make.conf but when I want to merge a package that is 
masked I do

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge packagename

I believe that if modify /etc/make.conf to have AUTOCLEAN=yes under features 
it will do the same.
