8 you mean * ? this already works today (at least with portage):
9 KEYWORDS="~*"
10 KEYWORDS="*"

12 in fact, i was planning on converting Chromium OS over to use this instead of
13 a list of arches. but that's because we run a simpler system of there really
14 only being two sets of ebuilds in the tree -- stable for all and unstable for
15 all.

17 for the ebuilds that are truly arch-specific (or otherwise need restricting),
18 then we'll do:
19 KEYWORDS="-* ~arm"
20 -mike
