Because of branding, I would certainly prefer that ppc32 remain under the Fedora umbrella as a seconday-secondary tertiary architecture rather than be forced to become a remix.
Branding?
My understanding is that after a Fedora-based distribution varies too far from the standard Fedora build configuration, it becomes a remix and can no longer legally be called Fedora - they must pick a name, and modify everything with the Fedora trademark.
What we've been talking about is creating a pure Fedora ppc32 build, focussing on getting the packages on the critical path, installs and Live CD/DVD creation working again. The latter is important for getting the video back into shape.
Once the basics are running, then we have reached a point where more folks can begin to contribute and help get the remaining packages into shape, starting with what that contributor feels is important.
