I'm replying as a member of the go-sig, as the primary maintainer is pretty
busy lately.

At least 289 source packages (recursively) BuildRequire
golang-github-google-cel-devel[1]. Some of these packages only provide
`-devel` subpackages that should've been included in the above query, but
there are likely also some that provide binaries that could be used by other
packages (go or otherwise; runtime and/or buildtime). The dependents of those 
packages aren't included in the count above. I am
working on querying for those packages and asking maintainers to remove the 
leaves.

The go-sig is also considering entirely removing go stack from i686, but
we have not made a lot of progress yet. My preference would be to wait
to remove all go packages from there by removing %ix86 from
%golang_arches instead of adding `ExcludeArch: %ix86` to just the golang
packages that need golang-antlr4-runtime-devel. Non go packages can probably be 
`ExcludeArch`ed first.

Please do not remove golang-antlr4-runtime-devel until we've dealt with
at least the packages affected by removing this one. I understand that this 
probably
isn't the answer you want to hear. We are in a similar situation; we'd like to
remove the go stack from i686, as it adds extra maintenance burden, but
there are other packages that depend on go stuff that need to be dealt with 
first (and some go packages that don't follow the packaging guidelines and are 
missing ExclusiveArch: %{golang_arches}`).
