I can't think of any either.
Note that shim-unsigned-riscv64.spec contains
ExclusiveArch: riscv64
so I expect that Koji will just return
BuildError: No matching arches were found
if a build for it is submitted. I am not very familiar with the mass
rebuild process so I'm not sure whether a rebuild will be attempted
for a package that was never built in the first place... Either way
I'm certainly hoping that its mere existence won't be enough to throw
a spanner in the works.
I'm happy to try and help if any issues with the package arise.
