I get exactly the same thing for dev-util/android-studio. It needs 32bit
stuff so it is masked in all the no-multilib profiles which obviously
makes sense. I dont get why repoman keeps annoying me about it, its
bad and its masked so whats the problem?

I have like a million lines of this:
  dependency.badmasked          12
   dev-util/android-studio/android-studio-1.2.0.12.141.1890965.ebuild: RDEPEND: amd64(hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib)

What I do not understand, I see these for hardened/../no-multilib, but I
do not see anything for default/.../no-multilib. Why? as far as I can
tell, they are masked in the same way so why isnt it complaining about
default?
