Forget "most recent". just remove "all other versions".

exactly.
Although of course, users will then have to be careful to commit BOTH
architectures of a package at once, to avoid:

1. submit foo-sparc
2.  (remove all other foo-*)
3. submit foo-i386
4.  (remove all other foo-*, which includes foo-sparc :-)

I was going to suggest "well maybe you should only auto-remove the
same arch", but that then does not properly cleanup issues where a
package is migrated from ARCH=sparc to ARCH=all.
Or vice versa.
