I think that sticking KEYWORDS in an eclass is something that should |
39 |
probably never happen. That isn't to say that it can't happen if |
40 |
there is some really important reason, but I can see it creating a |
41 |
number of issues. |

|
43 |
If for some reason we have a collection of packages that need to be |
44 |
synchronized WITHIN an arch I think we should think about ways to make |
45 |
this easier, but this probably isn't the way to do it. |
