Interests differ between participants. If this was the only
objection to moving ARM to the primary build system I would say
let's drop graphics from official Fedora ARM support for the
purposes of the move and make all graphical images respins or
remixes.
If I'm understanding you, you would prefer that ARM be blessed with the
stamp of being a 'primary' arch at the cost of dropping release targets,
images, and featuresets that are made by and for the community now.
I don't think I can support that - it seems awfully unfriendly to the
community that exists now.
