Looking beyond s390x, can we have them set by arch in some way.

I'm thinking of the ISA SIG, we currently only have x86_64 packages built, and I didn't even think about our -release file being in other arches.
Plus, we're thinking of having SysV (is that the extension?) and wouldn't want others to think we're doing support for other arches.

I guess we (ISA) could have our centos-release-isa rpm NOT be noarch, and specifically set the arch.

Hi,

Since s390x was only recently added and most SIGs don't support s390x,
we need a way to allow these SIGs to configure their release packages to
not be published for s390x. It would be even better if the SIGs could
set their release packages to be published for s390x, i.e., opt-in
instead of opt-out.
