The Fedora 36 beta is likely to slip because firefox was not building

That is a very poor excuse for a slip, why would any one need it?
That is specified in the release criteria. I believe the rational is covered
there if you are really interested. In this case it would have had
people doing an upgrade to test things, downgrading firefox, and that breaks
profiles. So shipping an old firefox wouldn't have been a good idea. I think
firefox is the only browser that comes with Workstation, so not including
it was going to be undesireable.
Why not add an ExcludeArch to fix?
As I stated in my followup things were a bit more complicated as the main i686
issue was in gcc. Firefox needed a new gcc to be built with a fix, so
excludearch for firefox wouldn't have helped. Using excludearch for gcc would
have had reprocussions and I don't see how that would have been practical.
