Do it at the earliest possible opportunity. |

Otherwise you will emmerge world and update to a current stable system, then |
| 14 |
amend ACCEPT_KEYWORDS and update to a current unstable system, effectively |

rendering the first emerge world as completely useless. |

Don't listen to people who will tell you cr@p like "starting with stable lets |
| 18 |
you find problems and fix them first". This is nonsense as once you start |
