It would be a different set of requirements.

It's more similar to how architectures achieved the former "secondary"
status. These requirements basically equate to:
* availability of decent enterprise hardware that can be added to the
Fedora data centre for build systems and other requirements (rel-eng,
QA etc)
* proven commitment from a company/team/community to support the architecture
* reasonable availability of hardware. It's a lot of work for the
various Fedora teams to support any architecture, even as a secondary
architecture.

Likely a lot of other stuff that I've missed out but I think it gives
a general idea.

In the time between bring up phase and acceptance of the above
koji-shadow still remains the proper means of ensuring builds are as
close to Fedora mainline as possible.
