Thanks, I thought about this as well, but since it's actually the same 
board I would like to avoid encoding it in the MACHINE this way.

Anyhow, following this idea I was told that there is also something like 
this[1].

So maybe something like this could work:

bitbake \
multiconfig:customerA:stable-image \
multiconfig:customerA:bleeding-image \
multiconfig:customerB:stable-image \
multiconfig:customerB:bleeding-image

where it would be the same MACHINE, but different images and package 
versions, which could be defined in the configs.
