Given downthread mails, it sounds like this is still unsettled. So I'll
jump in here with a question for the thread:
If we eventually need to add equivalent of `ExcludeArch: %{ix86}` to
qemu, what are the practical impacts?
+ For every i686 package with `BuildRequires: qemu*`, or `Requires:
qemu*` somewhere in its BuildRequires depchain:
+ archful packages are now FTBFS, these need to exclude i686 or adjust
deps
+ noarch packages unaffected?
+ For every i686 package with `Requires: qemu*` in its dep chain:
+ do we get FailsToInstall bugs filed for i686? archful and noarch?
Anything I'm missing?
Thanks,
Cole
