At least we should have defaults that actually work for someone. Now we don't and considering that distro-feed-configs.bb is the only place where PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS is actually used, this would be very easy to accomplish. Especially because it worked well by default before Mark broke it. I guess it's indeed better to just override the necessary bits in my distro instead of trying to get working defaults upstream.
