Really, I don't think that making what is a legitimate noarch package, such as
fedora-release or generic-release (keep in mind this would affect both, and
would be an extreme change affecting Remixes) is the way to go here. We can
already test against architectures using `%ifarch`, and sure that's not clean
when you're testing against a *range* of architectures, but it's definitely
better than adding additional complexity to a noarch package.
If anything, perhaps a virtual package, as suggested by others in this thread,
would be the way to go.
