Why isn't this as simple as:
1) Create an f37-multilib-build build tag with all supported arches + i686,
and an f37-multilib{,-candidate} build targets to use it (with destination tag
of f37-updates-candidate);
2) Drop i686 from f37-build tag;
3) Maintainers of wine and its deps etc. opt-in to i686 with a package.cfg:
[koji]
targets = f37-multilib
(Yes, that would have to be updated after branch point, but that could
possibly be automated.)
4) Everyone else leaves their spec files alone, no need to add ExcludeArch:
i686.
Would that work?
