Can you clarify?
packagegroup.bbclass previously set PACKAGE_ARCH = "all" which was confusing other code. Anything using the all package arch should really use allarch so we are consistent about how we set the various variables. Even though packagegroup.bbclass now uses allarch, we need specific packagegroup packages to be able to override the class e.g. marking themselves machine specific. This is why we need to make this change.
