True, but it does beg the question, how will future new arches (e.g. riscv,
or mips) be handled? Will koji-shadow still have a place in that, and what
criteria will be established for merging into primary?
It would be a different set of requirements.
It's more similar to how architectures achieved the former "secondary"
status. These requirements basically equate to:
* availability of decent enterprise hardware that can be added to the
Fedora data centre for build systems and other requirements (rel-eng,
QA etc)
* proven commitment from a company/team/community to support the architecture
* reasonable availability of hardware. It's a lot of work for the
various Fedora teams to support any architecture, even as a secondary
architecture.
Likely a lot of other stuff that I've missed out but I think it gives
a general idea.
In the time between bring up phase and acceptance of the above
koji-shadow still remains the proper means of ensuring builds are as
close to Fedora mainline as possible.
