Because it's perfectly valid?
Really, if I would have expected such proposals back when I first wrote 
package.keywords support I wuold have made a huge 
explanation/announcement/whatever that it is *an extension* to portages 
keyword system, *not a replacement for ACCEPT_KEYWORDS*.
package.keywords isn't better or worse than ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, it's just 
different in its behavior.
