I think the rule of not keywording live ebuilds originally applied only to |
| 12 |
those who fetch git/svn/cvs head. |

If a live ebuild fetches a particular revision, then the disadvantage is |
| 14 |
still that it can't be mirrored (hence a snapshot is preferable from user |
| 15 |
POV), but other than that it can be tested fine. |
