Right, I have yet to encounter anyone who can't run the new el9 binaries
on their hardware.  We had a few issues, but they were all
misconfiguration of hypervisors or software emulators.

An add-on architecture seems unlikely.

I do not want to propose the change for Fedora 35 myself.  Maybe for
Fedora 36.  We could do the change in Fedora 35 if someone else
champions it and gets it through the process.
