I am very much aware of this. But considering this is how we were told to implement this when we started this, I'm a little frustrated now that the approach isn't good enough anymore...

Sure, but that _still_ doesn't help with architecture property for things like `%ifarch`/`%ifnarch` and other similar things. Ideally, we'd have virtual dependencies for all kinds of hardware things, so that we could do fancy things like kernel modules supplement hardware and auto-install, automatic proposals for enhanced packages when CPU has certain instructions, etc.
