This is a bit premature. We still don't have the OpenJDK JIT for PPC and
ARM arches. We're working hard on it but it's not ready yet for prime-time.
Without the JIT, OpenJDK is crushingly slow on these arches.
Should Smolt stats on architecture users affect this decision? It says
about 0.7% of users are on platforms without OpenJDK JITs.
