I'm pretty sure we already discussed this in very much detail in the past at 
least once, and came to the conclusion that there are problems with that 
approach. What's different now?

Sorry, but for the moment your mail is a bit big on fluffy ideas and a bit thin 
on details how it's going to work... as unsorted examples,
* how is allarches supposed to interact with use.stable.mask?
* who is doing allarches stabilizations?
* what are the allowed dependencies? obviously an allarches package can only 
depend on other allarches packages...
* what happens if an allarches package gets, e.g., masked on one arch?
