BTW I see noarch packages are located in each of the separate arch trees as opposed to being in a noarch dir which looks like the advantage of the noarch in space saving isn't happening. What other advantages does it offer?
When the same package is in multiple trees, we use hardlinks to reduce the on-disk space usage. Noarch packages can still have Exclusive or ExcludeArch flags so a unified noarch repo is not very possible.
