5 I would propose to use it for the 100+ app-xemacs packages, all of which
6 run within the virtual machine that is xemacs. Obviously
7 app-editors/xemacs, the editor itself, will still be keyworded for each
8 arch, but the chance of running into arch-specific issues with the
9 packages is very small, and they are released independently from the
10 editor.

12 The same thing may apply to a number of dev-ruby/* packages (those
13 installing only ruby code), but that would need per-package
14 investigation.
