To make a comparison:
* Fedora does not offer support for older i486 processors.
* The Raspberry Pi is like that, using an old (out dated) ARMv6 CPU.
Hope that helps clarify.
Raspberry PI are based on obsolete technology.

Fedora has decided only to support armv7 (& v8, but you can't buy that
hardware). The RPi's ARM chip is armv6. As a result Fedora isn't
building this but it's handed off to someone else to do a remix. AIUI
they have to recompile everything, not just the kernel, so it takes a
while.
