Not so much.  It just means that builds on the primary arches won't fail if 
the build fails on a secondary arch, so it will be up to the community built 
around the secondary arch to ensure that the arch continues to work.  The 
secondary arch group will also be responsible for spinning their release, but 
the tools we provide make that very easy.

I really don't see that as adding a significant amount of users.

Not so much.  IBM does some help with the RHEL stuff I think, but not so much 
Fedora that I've seen.  It has been mostly up to our internal engineers to 
fix things on PPC when they go wrong.
