7 Another reason would be that it would cripple (even more) the benefit
8 of having all the relevant info in one place - the ebuild.

10 Currently, everything is in the ebuild, except package.masks, which are
11 in profiles. What OP is proposing would increase number of places to
12 look for info from two to two plus number of supported archs. Not good.

14 Please don't "improve" the current way of defining keywords just because
15 some people got scary CVS conflict messages. Those happen all the time
16 in larger repositories.
