Packages are mostly complete. Those that aren't built for F-17 on ARM
come down to 3 categories:
1) Not supported on ARM - mostly due to non ARM HW but a few others
2) are FTBFS on mainline F-17
3) have dep issues due to 2)

but then a whole bunch of packages built on an architecture don't make
a usable release, there's other criteria too.
