14 This is Gentoo. If the user chooses to run a particular reason of a
15 package for his own reason, that choice should be allowed. Gentoo users
16 should not be protected form themselves, that's why we have /etc/portage,
17 to change the developers' defaults.

19 Some of us like to live dangerously, I put
20 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17 in my package.keywords yesterday. I'm
21 sure there's a reason the devs haven't keyworded it for ~ppc, but I
22 wanted to try it - it hasn't fallen over... yet :)
