you mean * ? this already works today (at least with portage):
KEYWORDS="~*"
KEYWORDS="*"
in fact, i was planning on converting Chromium OS over to use this instead of
a list of arches. but that's because we run a simpler system of there really
only being two sets of ebuilds in the tree -- stable for all and unstable for
all.
for the ebuilds that are truly arch-specific (or otherwise need restricting),
then we'll do:
KEYWORDS="-* ~arm"
