many release files I know of (epel, elrepo, nux-dextop, gf, even some of
the release files needed by CentOS SIGs) are noarch simply because they
contain nothing but a bunch of text files ( which in turn happen to
contain GPG sigs or repository definitions). If the repo definitions
files ( => the URLs) are also independent of the architecture ( by means
of using $arch or similar ), there is hardly anything needing to include
arch-dependent content, therefore ... noarch
