That just boils down to "prefix arch teams" that maintain the stable |
| 12 |
keywords. |

Keep in mind that before you can use it for bootstrapping you need to |
| 14 |
have an "prefix arch team" for every arch that we support. |

I have no time to do: |
| 17 |
ppc-macos |
| 18 |
x86-macos |
| 19 |
sparc-solaris |
| 20 |
x86-solaris |
| 21 |
x86-fbsd |
| 22 |
amd64-linux |
| 23 |

Eventually it also means having a stable "Portage", which sometimes |
| 25 |
needs to be bumped because I fixed something important. |

Not impossible, just a lot of work that needs to be done by people that |
| 28 |
devote themselves to it. Once you start with stable keywords, you need |
| 29 |
to do that for the entire tree, since people *will* start using stable |
| 30 |
keywords only, and *will* expect the entire tree to be stable aware. |
