Why is that (seriously curious, not disagreeing)?  Portage has supported this
for quite a while now.  Does the current PMS disallow it?

What I've really wanted for a long time is different package.mask files for
different types of masks.  eg.

package.mask/broken.mask (qa.mask?)
package.mask/removal.mask
package.mask/security.mask
package.mask/testing.mask
etc.

If this requires a EAPI change, let me be the first to request it for EAPI
4. ;)
