Initially Arfrever suggested the same, I wasn't a fan of it because I believe it's much simpler to make this into a pkgcheck/repoman check like this.I'm with you on this though I think it should be relaxed to disallow only long term presence of pure live packages. It's fine to add a live ebuild first for a month or two if you're still working on something (just like it's fine to add a masked package). However, it's not fine to leave things like this for years. That said, maybe the policy should cover 'long-term masked packages' in general. See below.
However with pkgcheck maybe a similar logic can be used as is used with StableRequestCheck. So no objections there I guess.
