7 It's good feature for overlays, but I think we should avoid this in
8 portage tree as having same information in two places can be avoided in
9 this case: it's better and not so hard to write tool which will keyword
10 packages based on package.keywords file and new keywords could be chosen
11 like GLEP 22 suggests.

13 Or do we really want to start using profiles to force toolchain (e.g.
14 gcc versions) like bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55321#c3 comment
15 suggests? If so than maybe it's better to move keywording information
16 from ebuilds to profiles and than may be there is better solution
17 instead of having one package.keywords file?
