rpm may now support noarch subpackages, but the buildsys doesn't.  Honestly
there are some interesting issues that crop up, such as which of the noarch
packages gets used?  The one from the i386 build, the x86_64 build, one of the
PPC builds, or something else?  There's no guarantee that they're the same;
unless significant care is taken they will almost always differ in the
timestamps of the included files and may differ in more significant ways.

Bottom line: noarch subpackages do not work and aren't going to work even in
F10, regardless of what support has been checked into rpm.
