Does anybody know why we are still using %{?_isa} thing?
To ensure arch's match between subpkgs.
DNF/libsolv forcefully install 64bit package for any 32bit package in transaction. So it is not possible to get 32bit package without 64bit counterpart.
I can dnf install <foo>.i686
and I see no 64bit packages pulled in.
So then what's the reason of using %{?_isa}? Just some old cruft from yum era? Can we drop it? Thoughts?
See above, imo, no, not wise to drop it.
+1 for multilib packages is important
