[gentoo-qa] Live CVS ebuilds in the tree

So, I am wondering how everyone feels about live CVS ebuilds in the
tree.  I'd prefer that everyone did CVS snapshots, but I know that won't
happen overnight.  The real problem that I have is live CVS ebuilds that
are not in package.mask.  The handbook seems to encourage marking them
~arch and not place them in package.mask, so I am curious how others
feel about it before bringing this up on gentoo-dev@.

Thanks,

They shouldn't ever be out of package.mask, since we can't make any
kind of guarantee as to their stability.
