But how often do you refill the food bowl? Should we yum up the
builders every single day so that the host OS matches what's in rawhide?
You're taking this to the absurd. I'm talking about page size only.
What about the older Fedoras? Should we have builders set aside for
them that match the kernels in those trees?
IIRC, only the first few FC6 ppc64 kernels had 64KiB pages. And since
FC6 is EOL, we don't care. We don't really have a problem unless a
future version of Fedora switches base page size. I don't see that
happening soon.
