74 Be careful about going ~x86. I just went ~amd64. The OpenRC migration
75 is painless. The KDE, gnome, xfce4 part hasn't been for me. I'm likely
76 to remove all environments and apps, add the 41 apps to
77 package.keywords and be done with it, assuming that actually works and
78 doesn't uncover other problems.
