So let's make sure we're on the same page -- here's my understanding. 1) For @system packages, we will have KEYWORDS="ppc" for the stable versions and KEYWORDS="~ppc" for the rest. 2) For non @system packages we will remove both ppc and ~ppc keywords. 3) If for some reason I need to add back a package to build/maintain stage3/4, I will rekeyword myself, but other than that, we will *not* balloon the keywords. 4) I will take on the responsibility of stabilizing ppc @system packages if need be. -- Anthony G.
