primarily we are following upstream (the Linux on Power community) with the decision to focus on ppc64le only. Even the latest F-28 ppc64 missed some features due upstream limitations (eg. the whole golang stack, including whole containerization) and it was most likely going to be worse and it wouldn't follow the pace happening on the LE side.
I would have expected good code to build on either, though it does seem that unless you can convince a lot of people to build binaries for both that things will coalesce around one type or the other.
Welcome in the Fedora on Power community :-)
I'm thinking of it more as the owner controlled computing community. Fedora on Power just allows taking advantage of more open systems than is currently possible on x86_64 and more powerful systems than you can get with ARM or RISC-V.
I still have a wait. I couldn't afford either Talos II or Talos II Lite, so I need to wait for Blackbird to go into production before I have a system. And I need to save up a bit to buy the rest of the system while I'm waiting. The Blackbird tradeoffs to reduce the price were where I was willing to give up some quality to save money. Though the 8 core cpu seemed a pretty good deal, so I splurged there.
I'm looking forward to being able to do a kernel bisect in less than one day, instead of one day per step, when I have problems with new kernels.
