Hello

Many times has raised the question about how we could handle those
packages (like icon packs, wallpapers...) that are not arch dependent
and, then, could be stabilized all at the same time by the first arch
team that is going to stabilize it.

Some months ago it was suggested that this packages could have a KEYWORD
with a value like "~arch" for example that could indicate this
situation:

But it was shown that it would be difficult to make it work properly at
PM level.

Then, I was wondering if we could handle this simply by having:
- A new keyword for bugzilla like "STABLEREQALL" to easily allow arch
teams to filter this kind of packages and handle them in this "special
way"
- A new key for metadata.xml files to specify there that the package can
be handled in that way.

What do you think about this? It wouldn't need any change at PM level
and, then, it should be easy to do.
