Hi folks,

Why is it, when I unmask a package (with a  higher version number than the 
"official one") by using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, portage downgrades it on the next 
emerge -u world to a lower version? This is very irritating behaviour. Can it 
be turned off or disabled somehow?

Of course I can hack it out of portage (or hack something into portage that 
watches version numbers and bypass mask checking), but that's kind of a dirty 
way to do it. 

Any insights?

Cheers,
Emiel
