OK.... strange person. In we're playing that game, then Spot's proposal
won't work as-is either, for exactly the same reason.

And here was I thinking we were using an open source build system now.

Can we go back to being sensible please?

The proposal I'm making is that we should allow the builds to run to
completion on the architectures which is actually builds on, but just
not let the resulting packages get pushed to the repo until any needed
ExcludeArch bugs are filed. But I'm sure you knew that.
