ed: your frequently condescending replies to me wherein you lecture
to me as if i'm a 12-year-old is getting a little tiring. i am well
aware of dnf's "--exclude" option, but that option simply allows (if i
read this correctly) globbing on the entire package name, architecture
and everything else in between.

Maybe the man page was too long?
given that dnf recognizes both "--arch" and "--forcearch" for some
operations, i was hoping the same *architecture-specific* selection
could be applied to queries.
That isn't what you want...
