This is true. I was just suggesting that we don't necessarily need to
rush out and do a mass rebuild of all Extras packages before F7 just to
create ppc64 versions of them, since those _wouldn't_ be likely to end
up in the "ppc" compose; they'd only be in the pure ppc64 tree which
isn't a product we release; it's just the same as the unshipped ia64,
s390 rawhide trees.
