IMHO, Wookeys intention was to change the release scheme to something that
not all packages are considered as a release criteria as a whole, although
some packages can be built, but a rather useless except for academic proof
of being able to built (and catch some errors). 
Excluding archs from Arch: list wasn't the intention of Wookey as I
understand him.
