I wouldn't put it like that. The ARM team isn't asking for a blessing,
we're asking to have builds that block ARM also block x86. At a
technical level, that is a fundamental part of what being primary is.
Yes, there are other aspects, both practical (what is released) and
philosophical (What is Fedora). It's the next logical step. If not
now, when? When libGL is ready to go?
I don't think I can support that - it seems awfully unfriendly to
the
community that exists now.
You are proceeding from a misconception: This is a thought exercise- If
ARM devices didn't have graphics would it still be essential for PA
promotion that libGL for ARM work and be accelerated? There is no
proposal to throw out the baby or the bathwater. This is about defining
the threshold at which point armv7hl gets built along side i686 and x86_64.
