Benefit to Fedora
Not building for PPC64LE means less infrastructure load, less maintenance, less testing to be done. We can focus on the architecture where hardware is more easily available and where we have a lot of users.

Upgrade/compatibility impact
Users of Atomic Desktops on PPC64LE will have to switch back to a Fedora package mode installation or build their own images using Bootable Containers which are available for PPC64LE.
