I noticed on a job description posted on devel that there seems to be
an effort on the way pushing MIPS to become a primary arch in Fedora
[1].
"The task is to take MIPS through to being a primary architecture in
the Fedora/RHEL space, enabling further enterprise scale deployment
of the MIPS architecture."
Afaik MIPS arch is mostly used on embedded systems so either a new
line of servers are emerging or the intent is to use tablet/mobile
devices to act as new form factor for "next generation of server
technologies." so at least that architecture should be taken into
consideration when making this split so we can limit any
disruption/fallout that might come out of this as best we can to a
single cycle.
I think what you will see here is the same as the arm push to be more
general purpose computing machines. indeed the job poster even said they
have a quad core 1ghz server with sata and 8gb ram for use with fedora
development. but it is a bridge to cross down the road when more
concrete things are in place.
