1 Is there a good reason for handling package.mask differently from the
2 various profiles in /usr/portage/profiles? IOW, would it be a problem
3 to have portage look at /etc/package.mask (for example), which would
4 be a symlink to one of several choices in /usr/portage/profiles? This
5 would seem to facilitate separate package masks for different
6 architectures, and would allow machines of different architectures to
7 more easily share a locally mirrored portage tree.
