what would keep a plugin from being arch-specific? And if so, it
wouldn't belong in /usr/share, right?

The fact that they're pure python, and thus are executable on any architecture? If a plugin *does* arch-specific things it should make sure it does so only on the specific architecture and is a no-op on others. If we're to support plugins written in C /usr/lib vs /usr/lib64 would come to play as well.

<sillyexample>
I don't think S/390 has a soundcard, but that doesn't make system-config-soundcard arch specific.
</sillyexample>

My +1 for /usr/share/yum-plugins, I've suggested it in the past as well.
