why not just use submitrequests to send changes from Project-A to
Project-A-STABLE. then you basically get the same workflow as we have it
with opensuse factory and its devel projects.

the other option is:
Project-A-STABLE uses links with revisions into Project-A.
so when you want to update a package to a newer version, you just update
the revision attribute in the link file.
