Josh, In the fedora-ppc list you will also find that there are a number of us who are attempting to keep support for ppc32 active, and restore the ability to create new installations. This may take the form of a remix - it has been suggested that we talk to Fesco, this this seems to set a precedent on how x84 32-bit might be treated in the future. We have no intention of preventing a successful Fedora 21 release for ppc64. A number of folks on the ppc64 team agree it is a useful goal (largely those with nostalgic feelings for vintage hardware). Others are more of the "take it out behind the barn and shoot it" category. Making it so that ppc32 does not get built by default is one thing, but removing the ability to build ppc32 at all seems excessive, and certainly premature given the current situation. Thanks for your consideration. Al _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
