As far as I know, this is the adopted policy [1]. Though, I'm not sure if
that was ever made official since it's still on a user page. I couldn't
find anything that specifically says SRPM names can't be the same and it
seems like that is not the process for additional architecture packages.

I'm curious if anyone else has any insight. Maybe it is worth bringing up
at a FPC meeting.
