I'd like to point out here that if your proposal on x86_64 changes for
ELN are anything like the ones proposed before that were rejected in
Fedora, I literally would have nearly zero servers that can run ELN
software. Server lifetimes are long, and depending on what you're
optimizing for, you're not as likely to have all the newest whiz-bang
"high end" instructions that Intel puts in their CPUs.
Since Neal have mentioned Intel and x86_64, I assume that ELN is going
to support as much architectures as Fedora provides, is that right?
