So what happens if a flaw is discovered in KDE 3.5.5 that allows root |

access? |

In your world you allow mips users to trivially install now flawed and |
| 9 |
insecure software, instead of having to add |
| 10 |
to /etc/portage/package.keywords or package.unmask |
| 11 |

Yes, this breaks their tree, but it's fixable from the users end as we |
| 13 |
can rest in the knowledge that mips users have acknowledged the security |
| 14 |
flaw by adding the package to the above mentioned files. |
