Or perhaps, if it's implemented in the same way that ~arch is |
| 12 |
(perhaps, um, ^arch?), or ~arch but bound to a different environment |
| 13 |
variable than KEYWORDS) then there is loud and clear warning that you're |
| 14 |
doing something unsupported... |

|
| 16 |
... but keeping it in (near?) the tree (a different tree) so that we can |
| 17 |
still leverage the core Portage toolchain to manage our systems. |

engender] |
