The plan has always been to work with Fedora to try and enable more
architectures, including SPARC, but we're just not there yet. ppc is an
arch that Red Hat is very comfortable with and has a lot of in-house
expertise (and hardware).

We're working as hard as we can to try and get an FC-6 based release
ready as soon as possible. Once we have something for testing, you'll
see it here. :)

associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular."
