Hi Peter, thanks for the update. Does the internal Red Hat mainframe
count as a remote builder as well? Presumably it wouldn't have the
same reliability issues that plague the remote ppc64le builders. For
COPR are you looking for additional hardware or will you use the internal
Red Hat mainframe as well?

Thanks, Bryan
