Ahh, so what you're referring to here is stabilization of multiple
unrelated packages in a single commit..  ok..  i'm not so
comfortable with that idea.. BUT, nothing stopped us from doing this
with CVS (although the mapping of commit between CVS and GIT aren't
exactly 1:1), so i guess it's fine..?

What about simply keeping things as they are but not strictly
enforcing them when they are used in a manner like this for special
cases, such as ago's stabilizations or other security@ or arch team
keyword-related commits?
