Hi, 

this is e.g. when we'll move from KDE 5.x to 6.x -- if we push one
package at a time, the "stable" repository will go insane for a bit with
the plasma-desktop's requirements not matching the libraries. 

We need a way to move the whole set of packages that make up KDE 6.0 to
stable at the same time.
