It should only depend on the ARM arches it supports.
Other maintainers disagree because it reduces build coverage. Having done some cross arch clean-up, I have to agree with that position. Iterating builds over different arches is bad enough, but iterating over all configs for each arch is a pain. It would be nice to have a uniform policy here.
