We shouldn't allow only a single arch to be built into the repository.
But for flexibility, if a package has a difficult time being fixed for
an arch (after some effort is put into it), the packager should
temporarily Exclude, build, and file a bug assigned to an arch-group of
maintainers. For example Thorsten seems interested in making packages
work on x86-64, while dwmw2 on ppc.
To answer your other question, we need both a tag and target repository.
