21 I really like this idea. If he could drop a new rev of the toolchain
22 eclass into the tree, and make little p.masked updates to use it, then
23 that would serve many purposes.
24
25 1.) Adventurous people could test it (I build 4000 packages a day and
26 I'd test it)
27 2.) Prefix profiles could unmask this and we could just use things we
28 need directly in the tree
29 3.) once people approve of things, it's as trivial as removing the p.mask
30
31 I think this addresses toolchain's need for manpower very well, as long
32 as they can live with sometimes having to go from -r0 to -r2 because
33 heroxbd already has a -r1 that is package masked for his testing
34 (trivial cosmetic issue).

36 Thanks for the great idea calchan, I hope toolchain likes it.
