17 Mike is correct here... Adding another arch keyword works, but is
18 frowned upon. As the Gentoo/amd64 Lead, I would prefer that individuals
19 use only amd64 and ~amd64. Otherwise, applications that are masked for
20 amd64 (but not x86) will never be reported to bugs.g.o as successful
21 installs. If a package isn't reported, then we won't know to unmask it
22 for those who use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS correctly.

24 The scenario Meir mentions is basically the lazy-man's way out of
25 updating and maintaining a useful portage for the Gentoo/amd64 community.

27 You get Gentoo for free. The least you can do is contribute something
28 back to the community, even something as simple as "keyword bugs"...
