TBH we need someone to take over the FTBFS things that Matt use to do, there's still 400+ packages that are FTBFS on x86 primary arch post the F-17 gcc 4.7 mass rebuild and even some going all the way back to the F-12 mass rebuilt (yes 3 mass rebuilds ago!). that number was actually much closer to 600 but the ARM team have fixed well over 100 of those on mainline because they were blocking what we were doing on ARM. Then once that is in place a means of tracking ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch would be an excellent and very useful tool for all arches, primary or otherwise IMO.
