Creating a new release model or a new deliverable type sounds a bit 
overkill.

I think the simpler would be to add a new value to the existing 
"stable-branch-type" key. Like "stable-branch-type: none" and then set 
that value for all tempest plugins, tempest itself and patrole.

See https://review.opendev.org/670808 as a strawman.
