The Emacs team has converted the following virtual packages:

   virtual/emacs
   virtual/flim

to new-style (aka GLEP 37) virtuals. If there are no objections,
I will remove the old virtuals from the profiles one week from now
(22 May 2007). Affected are:

   profiles/base
   profiles/embedded
   profiles/default-bsd/fbsd/6.2/sparc
      (This will be empty then. Shall I remove the virtuals file?)
   profiles/default-darwin

virtual/semi was also removed some time ago, because it was only
provided by a single package (app-emacs/semi) and therefore no longer
needed.

I could not find any official guidelines for keywording of virtual
packages. Current practice seems to be that keywords are simply added
as needed. (Which makes sense: The virtual package installs no files,
so there is nothing that could be tested on a specific architecture.)
