With Fedora soon to no longer build for the PPC64 platform, the ability for EPEL to continue support of this platform is going to get much harder.
I assume that's because the builders are running Fedora. What if they were rebuilt to run RHEL7?
As such, it would be good to look at ending support for this platform in our build system when RHEL-7.7 happens.
Pity. I was hoping to keep my ppc64 VM at OpenPowerHub alive by rebuilding it with RHEL7 instead of Fedora.
With ppc64 in EPEL we had at least one big-endian arch to build for across both Fedora (s390x) and EPEL (ppc64). Now, we're going to lose the latter.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
