That policy was for *PRIMARY* arches. We are talking about secondary
arches here; the arches that Fedora, as a general project, does not
feel is within its release mantra to support, but wants to maintain
the ability for communities to support if they so desire. The
conditions will *and should* be different.

Fedora is about getting new open-source technology into the hands of
users and developers. It's not about insisting a community help people
support their particular CPU fetishes for little return.
