Excludearch/Exclusivearch reminder

Greetings. 

With the recent addition of arm in our primary buildsystem, I am seeing
some packages add ExcludeArch: arm or ExclusiveArch: %{ix86}

First, please DO NOT add ExclusiveArch on x86, unless your package
really and truly doesn't build on ANY of our secondary arches too.
(ppc64, s390). 

If you exclude arm support for now, please file a bug against your
package with the information about the missing arm support and then
add "F-ExcludeArch-arm" to the Blocks field on your bug. This will make
the arm team aware of the issue, as well as FESCo to track what items
are missing for full primary promotion. 

Please see: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Architecture_Build_Failures
for additional information. 

Thank you for your cooperation. 

kevin
