Whichever works within the policies and tools Fedora uses. My comment was
off the top of my head and may not be valid.

I don't think Smooge was saying that EPEL8 would have a build policy
for ExclusiveArch, he was meaning that package maintainers would need
to put that in their spec file.
Ahh  and now I see what you mean.  You are asking the package
maintainers to put %{arm} in.

OK, I just put it on the packages I have been working on.

Also, here is the EPEL issue about this problem
https://pagure.io/epel/issue/66
And the Beta was the same way as this.  But I personally, never tested
the desktop on s390x or aarch64.  So I never noticed.
