If the code is portable, then you must use `BuildArch: noarch`. It must build
on all platforms that Fedora currently supports. You only use ExclusiveArch etc
if the software does not support the whole set:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures

And then tracker bugs must be filed to clarify this:

It is better to add it here explicitly---we should not rely on another package
pulling it into the transaction.
