Absolutely right. The success of Ubuntu and Debian have proved this.

Aside of this, I am puzzled to see a project that it targeted to
support both X86 and ARM processors without even considering the
multiarch future. Sound crasy to me. Debian have accumulated a
immense amount of knowledge on how to do this the right way and
there have made many changes in the package management to handle
multiarch. RPM packaging is completely outdated about this.
