No, there would be lots of additional pain. Now you as a package
maintainer would have to wait for i586, i686, x86_64, ppc, and ppc64.
Then we'd have to compose repos for them, and iso, and testing, and
updates, and...
Well, much more interesting question IMHO is why we keep ppc? Did anybody
know numbers about these (I am sorry, i got lost in smolt website, so I
was not able to collect data from there)?
