11 Maybe there is one thing we should consider:
12 Since the Solaris kernel is Open now (=OpenSolaris), one could have the
13 strange idea of adding some "sys-kernel/solaris-sources-2.11.ebuild", to
14 build some distribution eventually called "Gentoo Solaris", which might
15 be comparable to Nexenta[1], which uses Debian's APT AFAICS.
16
17 As "Gentoo Solaris" would not be the same as "Gentoo Prefix on Solaris",
18 it should not share the *-solaris keywords used for Prefix via the same
19 KEYWORDS-setting.
20
21 For me, this is a (maybe strange, but valid) reason for something like
22 PREFIX_KEYWORDS.
