Adrian Bunk's comments elsewhere in this thread, that having the same package build differently on different architectures can end up being more work than having it build the same way everywhere,
It also doesn't help -- anything that can be rebuilt can also be rebuilt for amd64, more easily.
Perhaps it's a more efficient use of project members' limited time to keep building everything for every architecture unless/until a problem is seen, but be then be more willing to solve that problem via architecture-specific removals that we historically have been (similar to the removal of mozjs, gjs and GNOME Shell from armel in the past).
Yes, but we'd also need more scalable infrastructure for that -- and that is where a dedicated exclusion mechanism can provide a benefit over just creating unfulfillable build dependencies.
