Um, exactly. ;-) The first sign of trouble.

Being given via sync an ebuild which blocked updating my system with a 
*requirement* for 5.10.0 was the first sign of major ebuild problem... And, 
yes, it was fixed in response to my bug report after all.

And, the person *actually responsible* for the wider error regarding suddenly 
masked packages (where they weren't "marched" before) emailed me *privately* 
with explanation.

So, one fix via BGO, and one piece of private information for me to quiet my 
mind. All good!
