Discussion of Secondary Arches

• Blizzard proposed ARM as a secondary Fedora architecture
• Community run under FESCo following the same processes as other secondary arches
• Additional discussion around whether PPC should remain a primary architecture
• It is valuable to Fedora as a whole to have both big and small endian architectures in active use and testing.

Decisions:

• PPC will remain a primary architecture until:

1. secondary arch process is finalized 1. there are no other secondary architectures

• Board approves and welcomes ARM as a secondary architecture
