There will always be pressure to expand the cli options to encompass
all possible configuration options.  Instead of implementing
individual cli --options for each global switch. Perhaps it would be
better to implement a general option that takes global configuration
file chunk strings, so multiple switches can just be parsed from one
argument string.

As for exposing exactarch with its own cli --option, it would surely
make it easier to communicate to novice users, instructions in faqs if
there was a yum one liner for specific upgrade problems introduced by
changing a package to noarch.
