There's a process for handling this, which is to create (if required)
a Fedora bug for the package, and then attach it to this tracker:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=F-ExcludeArch-ARM

Then add ExcludeArch to the package, mentioning the particular bug.

I'm going to go ahead and do this now, since otherwise we won't have
hfsplus-tools at all for any user.
