only to fedora-extras-list please -- maintainers got a head-up this way
and can participate here in the discussion if they want. Otherwise the
discussion is dispersed on two lists and their archives and that is
quite confusing (see the replies to the daily rawhide reports as eample
-- parts of the discussion runs on fedora-test-list, others on
fedora-devel, and some on both)

Packagers, not users.

We need the reason why a packager is ExcludeArch/ExlusiveArch somewhere
documented. Bugzilla is the right place for this IMHO.

The script does not know why the package is ExcludeArch/ExlusiveArch.

Update??? A bug only should be filed once when the
ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch is added -- in most cases this will
during/after review.
