31 It's only in packages.use.stable.mask, but it simplifies the
32 instructions for users if we simply refer to package.use.mask here.

34 Since gemato doesn't have stable keywords yet, the
35 packages.use.stable.mask is needed so that repoman will allow us
36 stabilize the latest sys-apps/portage.
