This is an off-shoot thought of the 32-bit ARM conversation. Right now, we
build stuff like libreoffice for i686, but then (mostly) don't ship it.
This seems like a waste of resources and time.

I know it's somewhat complicated (for example, there's actually a library
package in libreoffice, libreofficekit, so that gets plucked in to
multilib), and there's quite a lot to work out, but ... does this seem like
a good intended direction?

One immediate way to do this is to start adding `ExcludeArch: i686` to
"leaf" packages (I mean: to allow / encourage people to do that). But I
don't want to add _more_ cruft to the standard minimal spec file, so this
seems like the wrong direction. And I still think we want to keep multilib
for compatibility (hello, old games!). Could we do something clever in koji
instead?
