This adds all the dependent packages that are blocking the specified package to the package.keywords. It will not work for hard masked packages.
To answer you question, as long as you leave these entries in your package.keywords file, emerge -uD will keep the files at the latest masked (testing) version. To downgrade, remove the entries from the package.keywords file.
