Description dorphell 2002-04-27 18:13:36 UTC 
Somthing I would find useful in portage2 is an arg such as --nomask to be 
passed to emerge so if I wish to emerge an ebuild that's masked I don't have 
to go through the package.mask adventure.

Thanks for your time

you can do `emerge <ebuild>` and it will work even if its masked
