Re: [gentoo-dev] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS + bootstrap.sh

[Robert Cole]

I kind of agree with both points here. :) Let me explain...

If the RCx releases would use updated packages that are in the stable tree 
(ie. glibc 2.3.1, gcc 3.2.2, etc) I think people like Per, Nicholas, and 
myself would be a bit happier building and testing older systems. :)

If they are in the stable tree why not? Could this be done in the rc4 release?

Another keyword like BUILD_ACCEPT_KEYWORDS = x86 would probably satisfy those 
with the urge to be super on edge :) and could probably be done with min. 
effort in changes to the scripts to look for another keyword. Yes? No? maybe? 
Should I add it to the "bug" report?
