Also, there are many noarch packages which don't benefit from a rebuild
at all, so I think the above removal plan should be limited to
non-noarch packages.

The buildsys assigns (or at least did) all noarch builds to the ppc
builder which is already a bottleneck and that is made even worse if
we're doing dummy zero-gain noarch rebuilds at a time like this.
