Not that I know of.
I just know of the packages I'm maintaining that I have to do this to.
If someone does have a tracker, it would be nice if they responded to
this thread so we could do that, cuz it seems like a good idea.
Is it possible to have a pseudo-arch or a macro ?
With something like (this probably has at least three errors):
excludeNotInRHEL80 = "excludearch i30 arm64"
we can flip it when the issue 66 is fixed to
excludeNotInRHEL80 = ""
and either everything will just work, or we will know what doesn't,
even before we remove the obsolete "exclude".
