I don't think that's a fair representation of the project's interest in non-x86 architectures. A lot of the interest in and work on secondary archs comes from non-Red Hatters, or from Red Hatters working in their spare time. (Of course, as RH often does, many of the high-output contributors end up applying for and getting RH jobs, skewing the picture.) Additionally, I'm not privy to Red Hat's architecture strategy, but as far as I know, 32 bit ARM — currently our only primary non-x86 arch! — is not of particular corporate interest. I also think it's a little unfair to frame this as a conflict, overall. It may be the case that Red Hat is less interested in paying people to work on 32-bit x86 (although I don't actually know that to be a fact). But this is just like any other contributor to the community — you can't make people do work they're not interested in. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
