I think you mean "... among the architectures." ?  If so, sure, maybe.
 But we already have that with archful packages across the
architectures, so I guess I'm forgetting why it's so horrible.

If you really meant "primary architectures", then no we wouldn't.
There's only one primary buildsys, and it would only queue the noarch
build one time on one machine.
