Changing the RPM architecture does not necessarily mean that you
wouldn't remain compatible with baseline x86_64. For example,
OpenMandriva's build of the distribution optimized for first
generation AMD Ryzen systems uses the "znver1" RPM architecture, but
the "znver1" architecture is deliberately considered compatible with
x86_64, so packages that are "x86_64" are still installable. There are
numerous examples of this for 32-bit x86, and there's no reason we
couldn't do this for 64-bit x86.
