Just as a summary, it seems we'd have two proposed approaches :

- Troy suggested modifying .spec for centos-release-<name> from
BuildArch: noarch to a list of supported architectures, that would (or
not) then be available under
https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/<stream-release>/extras/<arch>

- Neal proposed instead that can we keep it "noarch" but then .repo from
each SIG centos-release-<name> would need to be modified to ensure that
skip_if_unavailable=True would be added, otherwise it would still block
users from unsupported architecture if they install a
centos-release-<name> pkg that doesn't have pkgs / repository

In all the cases, that would need something to be done. For option 1 I
can change the build tag to add 's390x' (actually it only covers x85_64,
ppc64le and aarch64 - example for 9s :
https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taginfo?tagID=2556). But if I only do that,
the next time a pkg would be tagged, it would then import *all* existing
noarch in the s390x repository

What would be the best approach ? I'd like to hear from all SIGs as it's
about their packages in their repositories :)
