That looks interesting... but I don't think we should wait until git migration is done. Well, since I joined at 2009 I am earing about git migration and it's never done, then, I would do that job (even manually with CVS and tons of commits) without waiting for git. > > Another option is to just allow the keywords to be dropped without > fixing the reverse deps on those archs in these circumstances, though > that can be messier for users. > Yeah, that is another option... but I think that it can be worse for the users as, instead of they reading a news item informing about tons of packages being now moved to testing (or all their tree) and they preparing to that, they will start to get portage errors from time to time depending on their installed packages :/
