It can be useful, though obviously I review what is proposed before merging the config changes. I wouldn't put masks and keywords in the same bucket. A mask typically means that something is known to cause problems, while missing keywords typically just means that it isn't known to work yet. People running mixed-keywords will find themselves accepting keywords a fair bit. -- Rich
