[fedora-arm] ExcludeArch tracker doesn't appear to be effective

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485251 is depressing. Nine
bugs have been closed - of these, one is a review request that was
dropped, two were incorrectly closed after an ExcludeArch was added and
one was closed as a duplicate. Further, one bug was just unsubscribed
from the tracker after tests were disabled. We've correctly fixed *five*
packages that have been flagged as FTBFS on ARM. At this rate of fixing,
and given the rate at which new bugs are added, ARM will never build the
entire archive.

Fedora is supposed to provide a consistent experience across primary
architectures. Having a subset of our packages fail to build on ARM
means that's not true, and the current state of affairs clearly violates
point 8 of the architecture promotion requirements. How can we fix this?
