I think you have too optimistic approach. 
It would be good a solution if Discover would be mature software, but isn't and
because of this doesn't work well enough, yet.  Why I think like that? 
Recently I discovered bug which was related with updating "stuff" (Bug 428423
and Bug 430812 ). Second one has been raised by developers and probably fixed.
I cannot confirm. I didn't test  this yet, because didn't happen my issued
"stuff" (checked today).
I'm not sure if you aware of this, so shortly - there was a problem if any
package had couple sub-packages (often package of icons has sub-package with
icons in different colour), and then Discover frozen progress. I looked like
nothing wasn't updated, but in background was doing its job. Of course affected
stuff didn't update.

In Arch distribution I prefer different application - pamac, which is real
package manager and here of course I can update my system. I don't want to
install another application to be able to update my "stuff".  IMO such option
should be available in KNewStuff. Here I would like fully manage my "stuff" and
not in different application.

Thank you for changing status this report.
I wonder why if Discover is able to do it (update all) and KNewStuff doesn't. 
Anyway would be nice to have such possibility in place and not only in another
application.
