I also like the idea of calling the list ppc64 to distinguish it from
previous PPC versions.

Maybe I misunderstood but don't the fedora-ppc efforts cover both
ppc32/mac and ppc64? If so, why the 32bit/64bit split? The move to
lists.fp.o makes sense to me but the split does not.
Apologies, perhaps a bit of cart before the horse on my end. The current
fedora-ppc@ list is focused on "List for discussion of fedora on the ppc
platform, particularly Apple Macintosh centric". With the current revival
effort of the Power architecture in Fedora as a secondary arch, the team
working on that is primarily focused on ppc64. While there are certainly
are similar challenges from a release engineering perspective, it seems
appropriate to me to just call the new list what it focused on ...
ppc64(a)lists.fedoraproject.org.
I fully expect there to be knowledge sharing between ppc and ppc64, however
very little of the install media produced for ppc64 will be useful for
non-IBM hardware.
Thoughts/comments/concerns?
Thanks,
James
