No, if you read what was said, they are specifically _not_ going to
cover ARM, because that would be attempting to put Fedora on a platform
that would not allow custom kernel and such.  Don't support the locked
down platform; the answer to "Fedora on ARM" is "don't buy a Win8 ARM
system and expect to run Fedora".
