Looks like it originated prior to 2007, and hasn't been removed at all,
and instead migrated up to the global use.mask (and is reversed only for
x86). 

cman and related packages are keyworded for amd64, so it should
certainly be possible to remove the use.mask on amd64. Removing it for
other architectures would require them to test cman and all the related
packages first.
