We readdress the question of whether any universal upper bound exists on thesquare mass m^2 of the lightest scalar around a supersymmetry breaking vacuumin generic N=2 gauged supergravity theories for a given gravitino mass m_3/2and cosmological constant V. We review the known bounds which apply to theorieswith restricted matter content from a new perspective. We then extend theseresults to theories with both hyper and vector multiplets and a gauginginvolving only one generator, for which we show that such a bound exists forboth V>0 and V<0. We finally argue that there is no bound for the same theorieswith a gauging involving two or more generators. These results imply that inN=2 supergravity theories metastable de Sitter vacua with V<<m^2_3/2 can onlyarise if at least two isometries are gauged, while those with V>>m^2_3/2 canalso arise when a single isometry is gauged.
