Why do you apply such a general rule? For instance I have been using dev-util/diffuse from the zugaina overlay until a newer version went into the gentoo tree. Portage tells you which overlays the packages you're about to install come from. I agree though, that masking is not a perfect solution here, or not even a solution if you want. Support for overlay-specific atoms could be a solution I think. In case you have the time helping us bring that to Gentoo that would be cool, I actually want support for that, too. Sebastian
