Can't you just fix your USE flags with systemd-utils? Why revert? If I need to bump a package up to ~arch temporarily usually I just do it with an atom like "<sys-apps/systemd-utils-251" or something like that, so that I keep getting ~arch updates within the major version, but the next major bump happens when it hits stable. Obviously you need to understand the versioning/stabilization policies for the packages involved if you do that, and it is situational, but you really shouldn't be mixing keywords anyway unless you're comfortable with that. -- Rich
