Is it worth adding something like arch=(NOARCH) for packages that are arch neutral (ie they only contain text files, scripts...) so we don't have 2 identical packages for i686 and x86_64.

There's been talk of this. I think it's a good idea. Apparently codemac thinks it's a bad idea.
When I talked to phrakture about it a while back, his issue IIRC was that it's an arbitrary name and one day there might be a NOARCH architecture that we have to support... or something like that.

NOARCH was just the first thing that poped into my head, what about ALL. The reason I bring it up is if you're maintaining an arch neutral package you need to fudge CARCH everytime you want to build for the other archs. Andrew
