11 Just as a FYI, to get the "stable or testing on any arch" semantics that are probably what you
12 want, instead of "completely ignore keywords" which is what "**" gets you, you can use
13 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="* ~*" (or the equivalent in package.accept_keywords). "*" means "stable
14 anywhere", "~*" means "testing anywhere", so by including both, you match everything except empty
15 keywords (and the nearly meaningless "-*" keywords).
