Eh, sure there won't be any accumulation of broken junk _if_ the ebuild
never gets a version bump. (Then it should probably be removed
altogether after a reasonable period of time once it gets broken).
That's not what are we talking about here.

Otherwise, apparently the junk accumulates there. As an example - it's
really wonderful to have 3 KDE slots plus multiple versions for each in
the tree just because some arch team hasn't keyworded/stabilized
anything newer for ages. Makes everything faster and all...

See above, perhaps? And, we have some ebuilds without any keywords in
the tree? If we do, then yes, they should be removed.
