9 We do something very similar in porthole now. It is very usefull and we

12 Our display goes farther and more detailed showing individual ebuild
13 keyword status. Whether it is stable, keyword masked or hard masked.

17 After all how many people can remember which packages they have

19 checked, the keyword status can also be checked.
