I double-checked and if I have */*::init6 in package.mask, I get 27,000+
REDUNDANT_IF_MASK_NO_CHANGE warnings from eix-test-obsolete, with and
without the following in package.nowarn:

*/*::init6 in_keywords no_change double mixed weaker double_line in_mask
mask_no_change double_masked in_unmask unmask_no_change double_unmasked
in_use double_use in_env double_env in_license double_license in_cflags
double_cflags nonexistent masked other_overlay

No other overlays installed.
