In fact, I'd go further and say every single use of ExcludeArch or ExclusiveArch ought to be associated with a bug # in bugzilla. If it's "it's yaboot, dummy" then that bug # can be CLOSED-WONTFIX from the start. I favor this because it makes it straightforward to have automated processes that troll the packages and complain about spec files that use these tags without having a bug associated in bugzilla. I think having a bugzilla report explaining why it was never a problem is preferable to putting magic exclusion lists into any such automated process. Thanks, Roland
