The context is that I added profiles/repo_name to the tree ~5 days ago, in order to properly take advantage of functionality available in a certain package available in the tree (sys-apps/paludis). It's 7 bytes and doesn't adversely affect anything, so I didn't deem it particularly worth making a fuss about. Stephen, thanks for this useful clarification. As far as I know, every file in profiles/ is used by Gentoo's package manager or QA tools. Changing that by adding a file used by something other than portage/repoman is a policy change. It also may turn out that portage itself could make use of a similar file to what you're adding for paludis, so discussion with at least the portage team would be merited.

[gentoo-dev] OpenAL/freealut in portage
As many of you might have noticed, the old openal CVS snapshots have been replaced with upstream's official openal-0.0.8 release. The only problem is that the alut stuff that was in openal (under Linux only) has been split out into a new package. Because of this, some packages require some work before they can be moved to using the new split openal/freealut packages. I have unmasked openal-0.0.8 and freealut, but the current best version in stable is still 20050504-r1, which has the integrated alut. Why am I telling you all of this? Simple. I am trying to get every package in the tree to actually work with the newer (0.0.8) openal, so I can remove the old CVS snapshots. If you're willing to help (this means patches), then feel free to mask =media-libs/openal-200* locally and start merging packages that depend on openal. A common problem you will see is this: AL/alut.h: No such file or directory This, of course, means that the package expects to use alut, so the simplest solution is to try to add media-libs/freealut to DEPEND and merge again. In some cases, this will work. Otherwise, a patch will still be needed to get the package to work with the split openal/freealut ebuilds. Please file bugs, with the patches, and make sure that they block bug #132826, which is my tracker bug for these issues. Please refrain from filing bugs on things that are broken without a patch, as I have a list of the packages that depend on openal already and am going through them one by one, so a bug report in this case isn't beneficial without patches to resolve the problem.
