 > James Laska started such an effort prior to leaving the QA team, but he
 never completed it. Honestly, I consider ARM substantially more important
 than PPC or s390x, and am trying to keep things simple by proposing we
 just deal with ARM rather than complicate matters with the other, less
 important secondary arches.

 Which is kind of a slap in the face, given that s390x and PPC are the only
 two secondary architectures that have 1) actually done a release in the
 past 2 or 3 years, 2) are the only two secondary architectures that are
 actually building for _current_ releases, and 3) are certainly no less
 relevant than ARM depending on your perspective.

 ARM is great, I'm sure ARM64 will be awesome, but I do think you're doing
 a disservice by focusing on something that doesn't exist instead of
 working with the teams that have already put forth great effort to
 participate in Fedora.
