1 The use of package.keywords is recommended because it allows you to apply the condition to specific packages. If you really want to use the arch testing packages system wide, then I believe the way to do this is to insert the line:
2
3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
4
5 into your /etc/make.conf file. All subsequent emerges will then make use of the test package versions for the specified arch. However, this is not recommended as it tends to produce an unstable system.

25 Actually it doesn't assume anything. It simply means that you accept any
26 package that includes the ~x86 keyword..
