We Are planing on adding secondary Archs right now sparc and ia64 are planned 
alpha if there is a team to support the arch.  that want to work with fedora.  
Secondary arches will get things built automatically when built for a primary 
arch.   Don't forget there is no longer a core/extras distinction.  only 
fedora.  

Aurora currently has core and extras for SPARC.   the idea is already out 
there.  the second phase of koji will be adding secondary archs.
