Note that the if the new one is pushed, automatic cleanup scripts will
at some point remove the SRPM that was sometime used to build the x86_64
package.  The version skew will also probably cause problems for
external engine packagers.  And Like Aurelien already mentioned, where
do you maintain the old package for x86_64?  When a security issue is
found that requires action for all architectures, how do you handle it?

-1 if it means introducing the version skew.
