Yes we tried to extend support by having the aarch64 to use the CentOS
repositories but koji does not like differing src.rpms names to determine
what to pull into a build root. This meant that builds for all platforms
would fail because of aarch64 package names being 'different enough'. At
this point the only way for aarch64 and armhfp for EPEL would be for the
CentOS project to compile those packages.
