Actually, I'd recommend Fedora/RH to drop all other "secondary" archs,
because they do not have a community user base.

How do you know?

- How many arm, s370, ppc or mips machines do you have around?
  Except of the arm - which some enthusiasts/hobbists may have -
  probably none.

- How many ix86s have been sold?
  Probably 100s of millions, if not billions.

- How many ix86s are still in use?
  Probably millions, most of them probably running Microsoft Windows.


That said, I still have 3 of these around, so far having been running Fedora, but I am now looking for alternative distros because Fedora's leadership apparently is not willing to cater my personal needs.
