Have we actually switched all userspace to 64-bit on 64-bit machines?
That would exacerbate the initrd size issue quite a lot, wouldn't it?
As well as being significantly less well-tested than the 32-bit support
was.
if so this is exactly the same as what rhel6 does
Are the ExcludeArch trackers still up to date for ppc and ppc64? Is

*are* built for ppc32?
