Right the biggest one being the old outdated mindset that got created in 
the birth of the distribution when the packageset was only fraction of 
what it is today is the biggest hurdle to overcome as well as changing 
the mindset of those that think Fedora is nothing more then "Gnome 3 
  with custom wallpaper" and try to force that vision upon all 
architecture,sub-communities and their users.

This most definitely is not something we would achieve over night but is 
more something that will take us few release cycle to implement.

I dont argue that this should be a blocker for architectures quite the 
opposite as far as I see it the only requirement for an architecture to 
be come a "primary" ( thou arguably those are outdated concepts as well 
) is that all package currently build ( with the execption if they 
simply cannot work on a spesific architecture ) and be available for the 
community to use as lego bricks to shape and present to the world as 
they image in for that relevant hw.
