As Zac requested, I am reporting it here.

Portage should allow -~* keyword, useful in forcing package from stable arch, right now all what we can do is -~<arch>.

Reproducible: Always

I'm not sure that it's worth it, given that you an use "-* stable-keyword" to get the same result. Also, note that ~* is already supported in ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, and -~* will already negate it.
