so i guess people are using KEYWORDS=-* because they dont want ppl easily 
emerging a package that will break them ... specifically the latest gcc/glibc 
ebuilds ... now while i agree that they are not suitable for stable or 
unstable systems, and maybe too risky even for package.mask, it is a pita to 
emerge these suckers and then safely keep them on youur system ...

what i propose is that people who make ebuilds with KEYWORDS=-* add in an 
extra little word, namely 'pleasebreakme'.  that is, from now on, have it 
read:
KEYWORDS="-* pleasebreakme"
that way i can do ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=pleasebreakme and get access to these 
packages.

thoughts ?
