Speaking as someone who "sells" this stuff, I think it'd be confusing
for the Editions to offer different software (except where dictated by
enabling the hardware). It'd be better to just say that we don't offer
the Edition and instead suggest various spins for architectures where
this comes up. Or, where we decide it's important enough, to make sure
we use software that works across all relevant archs (or if possible to
fix it when it doesn't work).

And that's a completely valid approach if we choose to do it like this. I just feel we shouldn't be deciding this in the test list. It's a higher level policy than what we usually discuss regarding blocker criteria.
