A few -devel subpackages for arch specific "main" ones already are or could be
changed to noarch and thus have/would have no %{_isa} in their Provides, so
this should be done carefully. And packagers who are about to change such
a -devel to noarch should check whether there's something using a %{_isa} dep
to it to avoid breakage before going ahead with the change.
