Using a single keyword would make us unable to mark for example

So package.mask it in the (now hypothetical) amd64 sub-profile, and it
is fixed.
That's exactly why i don't like the idea of merging keywords: You loose
the ~arch state.
We weren't talking about ~arch, we were talking about -arch.
Also, you can't compare sparc32/sparc64 to x86/amd64: sparc64 is just a
64bit kernel with a 32bit userland. For users who want that, there is
already a keyword: x86.
Wrong again. On mips, we have 64-bit kernels with *three* different
possible userlands, n64, n32, and o32, and we do just fine (although as
of right now, we haven't bothered to make any n64 stages since they
would run slower than n32 and o32 on all of our supported hardware).
