Hm, that sounds potentially risky way to do this. And also just breaks
stuff and leaves it to the package maintainers to fix things.

Did you consider adding a %{java_arches} macro that can be used to
limit builds of noarch Java packages to non-i686 architectures?

Did you check the dependency tree of the non-noarch Java packages? For
example, are there any important, non-Java packages that depend on
architecture-specific Java packages, like JNA?

For example, these packages might be problematic:

- jna ← jline
- jna ← libvirt-java
- jna ← mariadb-java-client
- jna ← scala
- jna ← svnkit

Will package maintainers need to exclude all those packages (and, in
turn, all their dependent packages) from i686?
