I thought of that. The reason I decided not to was because some
packages could move, say, out of testing for i686 and NOT x86_64. I
don't know if that's a common case though.

Perhaps we can do this: move all packages by default. if the arch is
specified on the command line, move only that arch. or in code -

looparches="${ARCHES[@]}"
[ -n "$2" ] && looparches="$2"

for arch in $looparches; do
.... do move logic here
done
