Owner(s):

After a number of projects dropped support for the big endian ppc64
architecture and our move of ppc64 to "maintenance-only" mode few
releases back, now a vital dependency, the Eclipse project, stops
supporting ppc64. As a consequence we need to discontinue producing
any ppc64 content. This is a long time anticipated step as the
upstream focus on the little endian variant (ppc64le) on Linux is well
known. My email
[https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...]
sent to the Fedora PPC mailing list has few more details.
