Would it make sense to simply relocate the global package.mask |
| 14 |
and package.unmask to the base profile from which all profiles |
| 15 |
derive (haven't checked that they all do)? |

Users's data could be placed in the users profile at |
| 18 |
/etc/portage/profile instead of /etc/portage, and the concept of |
| 19 |
global package mask/unmask as repository metadata would go away. |
