Is this really preferable to the following?

echo "media-gfx/fontforge ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

-- Ph.

Wine only needs version 20060406, so why set it to always pull them from ~ARCH? Someone who wanted to do that would likely be in ~ARCH anyways.

Unless there's a reason to use other ~ARCH versions than 20060406, there's no reason for someone not in ~ARCH to get them (until they're moved out of ~).
