In order to get something different I also checked FC5 and there we had 14% in Core. So the stats of Core ppc packages shipped as ppc64 versions as well are: FC5: 14% FC6: 36% F7: 36% > The fact that Extras didn't build/ship 64 bits for ppc was probably > more a technical one, but since the worlds unite, anything that was > possible with a former Core package will be possible with a former > Extras package, too. > > 36% also indicates that not all ppc packages make sense to build as 64 > bits, but rather about a third.
