10 Seems even acceptable. Not sane but acceptable. People tend to keyword
11 packages both '~amd64 ~x86' testing them on amd64 only; amd64 users
12 tend to get sad when someone keyworded a package '~x86' only.
13
14 On the other hand, it'd be good to have ABI sub-keywords then.
15 Something like 'x86:x86 -*' if a package is actually x86-only.
