Just a heads-up, that p.mask list would happen to include firefox and thunderbird right now. So if we don't p.mask those, is them breaking with gcc-6 still enough to keep gcc-6 out of ~? If not, I definitely +1 what lu_zero said, let's add ~keywords to gcc-6. William No, i'm good with keywording gcc-6 still. I'm just not Ok with firefox and tbird and others being p.masked for removal simply because they don't build. Also its worth noting that the gcc-6.3 build failure is apparently not absolute, there are people that have built mozilla stuff fine with 6.3
