Now what problem are we trying to solve? As I see it, it is mainly
one of manpower, namely that some arch teams cannot keep up with
stable requests, and I doubt that any technical solution will help
to solve this. Introducing a "noarch" keyword or allowing "*" will
potentially cause problems with dependency resolution.

Instead, we should come up with a clear set of rules under what
circumstances package maintainers are allowed to stabilise ebuilds
themselves on all architectures.
