Or all architectures even.
This should, in my opinion, be disabled by default.
The default-off setting should be self-documented in the config, so
that it could be easily found and toggled on/off.

This should please the masochists, or people with very slow internet.
Meanwhile, we can bikeshed on how to optimise the feature.
Eventually somebody will make the changes that cause DRPMs to suck
slightly less.
At that future time we can reevaluate if we rewards are worth the aggravations.
