By merging all the packages into one big collection we can't 
segregate "Extras" and "Core" anymore for decisions such as build for ppc64 
or not.  Every package will build for every arch unless explicitly told not 
to, and if told, there is supposed to be bug regarding this according to our 
guidelines (which you wanted IIRC).  This means we need to turn on ppc64 in 
the new build system to keep the current "Core" packages building there, and 
we need to bootstrap the rest of the packages so that they can start building 
ppc64 without causing failures all over the place.  Whether or not the builds 
wind up on the "ppc" compose is a different story, although I do believe we 
need to publish a pure ppc64 tree alongside the other trees, so that 
derivative folks can have something to build from.
