Description
When updating a set, if a package has been masked for whatever reason, pkgcore does not downgrade the effected package.
It would be a useful enhancement for the Gentoo developers because it would ensure that if a package that was masked because of an important security risk or bug it would be removed from most systems.
This check should apply to both ~arch masking and hard masking.
