Hi all, 

Right now we have arches maintaining a stable keyword and we have arches that 
don't do that.

This makes me think that the classification of profiles as "exp", "dev", 
"stable" in profiles.desc does not really cover all usecases. 

[Current meaning: 
"stable" - repoman checks it, arch has stable keyword
"dev" - repoman checks it with -d
"exp" - repoman ignores it]

I'd like to propose two additional profile types:
"nonstable" - repoman checks it, arch has no stable keyword (and if there is 
one in an ebuild, repoman treats it as arch=~arch)
"dev-nonstable" - repoman checks it with -d, arch has no stable keyword (and 
if there is one in an ebuild, repoman treats it as arch=~arch)

Why not make it possible to keep an ~arch only deptree consistent?!

Cheers, 
Andreas
