I recently had some *.noarch.rpm packages built on the build service and noticed that they're also built on i586 and x86_64.

For sure, I could disable building on one of those two archs, but I simply forgot.

So I wonder whether it would make sense to build some intelligence into the build service to have such pkgs only built on one arch and automatically disable the others? This might help save again some percentage of build power if stupid users like me use it...

Yes, it would make sense, but it's not easy at all. A "noarch" build would have to copy the created packages into all of the repositories of the other architectures. This is an inter-arch repository dependency that the buildservice can't handle at the moment. It is desireable to have, though. We also need something like this for the -32bit packages, they are build on i586 but have to be copied into the x86_64 repository so that builds depending on them work.
