The problem is that, at least regarding gnome related bugs, there are a
lot of keywords dropped for your arch that could be prevented
use.masking an USE, like, for example, dev-util/anjuta-2.28*, that is
causing us to preserve and old (and broken) 2.24 release only for hppa.

My intention is only to try to help you and improve the situation, I
also have opened bug reports for every change have committed to, for
example, powerpc profiles (you will see that I edited your profile
yesterday, but it was because I totally missed the note preventing us to
do that, this is why I didn't committed any more changes and sent reply
above; it wasn't premeditated)

Would you allow me to edit hppa package.use.mask *if I open
corresponding bug report* ?

Thanks :-)
