IMHO, we need to decide one way to try to build EPEL for alternative
arches.  If we want to use CBS, then we can do that.

Currently for both arm32 and aarch64 we are using the distro build and
not koji for EPEL build.

I don't really have a preference but we need to define the process and
stick to it and not keep hopping around.

We do need koji arm32 builders for SIG content regardless of how we do EPEL.

But shifting systems mid stream (ie, we are building EPEL now) is not
the best idea.
