18 I used to use -U round about 2004. Reason I used it was because I
19 emerge unstable packages by setting the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS environment
20 variable. I learnt better ways of doing it and started using the ~x86
21 branch, so my need for it disappeared. I remember seeing deprecated
22 warnings about it soon after I started using it, but I'm not sure when
23 it was removed.
