Hi all, I wanted to kick off a discussion, I think that with the work that Seneca is doing for armv6hl to support the Raspberry Pi most of the need for building sfp has gone away. I would like us to drop support for sfp in F19 that means that anyone running a kirkwood based system would get supported software updates for approximately 13 months from now. with cubie boards and other devices coming around that are cheap and more powerful and similar options I think there is little benefit to continuing to support sfp.
I've been thinking the same thing. This still gives people on kirkwood plugs over a year of active support, and Pi users will continue to have support via armv6hl. Another added benefit is that this will free up rawhide build systems which can be used by other Fedora communities who want to run projects on the ARM boxes (COPR, infra, etc).
Ive put in a request to get numbers of people using the arm and armhfp portions of mirrormanager to get some idea of the number of users out there, though i suspect most arm are raspberry pi and people building in mock.
That'll be some great information to have. It would be interesting to know Seneca's Pi download stats, too.
