When things are in concurrent release, it should not be more work.  With
test though, sometimes you have to apply test updates, and things are not
in sync.  SRPMS should always be the same for both i386 and x86_64, so the
build system builds both packages, the question is if they are published or
not.  Test requires a special case, so all updates must be pushed by hand.
