I've been seeing lots of posts on the amd64 forum lately in which people have been telling eachother to do 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge package'.  I finally got somebody to tell me that he got that from the emerge man page.  Sure enough, under the keywords section of the man page on my system with portage 2.0.51-r15 it says, "For  example, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xfree will cause emerge to consider KEYWORDS-masked versions of XFree as potentional upgrade candidates." Yet the only mention of the package.* files is under the -U flag.  I think it's time to update this information to prevent people from using old methods that my lead to broken systems.
