 The bug number should then be placed in a comment, next to the
corresponding ExcludeArch line.

That's where I looked, I also checked the bugzilla for
ExcludeArch-ppc64 but didn't look back far enough.  I figured this was
a bug filed recently since the change was just done, apparently this
was filed three months ago!

There has got to be some easier way, is every package maintainer who
uses a devel package supposed to be CC'd on these ExcludeArch bugs?

Why can't we have some easier automated way for devel package
maintainers to notify other package maintainers who depened on their
package when changes like this are made?
