23 This isn't duplication of information. Whether or not an ebuild is considered
24 stable by the arch maintainer is a QA issue and should not affect users.
25 Changes to the behaviour of KEYWORDS affects users. Adding a STABLE variable
26 does not. There's no reason for these changes to filter down to the user
27 level. Change repoman to check for the STABLE variable and portage doesn't
28 need to be touched. Change ebump and ekeyword to add/remove the STABLE
29 variable as needed.
