Oh, I see the problem now, though it doesn't explain the '73 weeks
ago':

[os-autoinst]
        os-autoinst-openvswitch-4.4-18.20170410git97928a2.fc26.armv7hl requires openvswitch
[os-autoinst]
        os-autoinst-openvswitch-4.4-18.20170410git97928a2.fc26.ppc64 requires openvswitch

so the problem is that the current stable openvswitch was not built for
two arches; the openvswitch package currently in updates-testing *is*
built for those arches, however. It seems pointless to send out an
update that disables the subpackage for two arches for a few days until
openvswitch is pushed stable.

Perhaps the proliferation of arches in primary Koji might cause a
rethink of how this automatic retirement works? It wouldn't seem to be
a good idea to automatically retire this package (which is in fact
quite important, and under active maintenance) on this basis.
