I'm not sure I understand the purpose of this tool that you mention. |
| 18 |
Are you saying that package.keywords might be a good thing to use |
| 19 |
initially and then later, if we choose (maybe we will or maybe we |
| 20 |
won't), we have the option do an automated migrations of specific |
| 21 |
profiles to separate keywords like those in GLEP 22? |

Obviously there are an infinite number of possible approaches. The |
| 30 |
main reason I brought this up was that a user had expressed a desire |
| 31 |
to have package.keywords for use in private profiles (not the |
| 32 |
official gentoo ones). The question of whether or not we should |
| 33 |
implement package.keywords for the sake of private profiles should |
| 34 |
be considered separately from the question of whether or not we |
| 35 |
choose a policy to allow the use of package.keywords in one or more |
| 36 |
of our official gentoo profiles. |
