If I'm understanding you, you would prefer that ARM be blessed with the stamp of being a 'primary' arch at the cost of dropping release targets, images, and featuresets that are made by and for the community now.
I wouldn't put it like that. The ARM team isn't asking for a blessing, we're asking to have builds that block ARM also block x86. At a technical level, that is a fundamental part of what being primary is. Yes, there are other aspects, both practical (what is released) and philosophical (What is Fedora). It's the next logical step. If not now, when? When libGL is ready to go?
I don't think I can support that - it seems awfully unfriendly to the community that exists now.
You are proceeding from a misconception: This is a thought exercise- If ARM devices didn't have graphics would it still be essential for PA promotion that libGL for ARM work and be accelerated? There is no proposal to throw out the baby or the bathwater. This is about defining the threshold at which point armv7hl gets built along side i686 and x86_64.
