I was extras IRC last night and the view was that it's mess. Some mono stuff has
to be platform specific, while libs should be noarch. The problem with that
though is that there are lots of exceptions to the rules.

An example is f-spot. It's a mix of C and C#. For my packages,
gtksourceview-sharp would be noarch, but those built on it might be. 

Someone did mention they should be treated the same as jar files, but again,
some applications (such as azerus) are defined as being architecture specific.

If you can bare the horror of looking at a SuSE spec file, you'll see that they
basically just noarch everything which will, by default, place everything in
/usr/lib rather than lib64.

I personally am unhappy with having binaries as noarch as to me, noarch should
be scripts (perl etc), pictures, audio files and text - material which doesn't
care what the architecture is.

I await spot on this one.
