which means I'm going to have to either start learning how to roll my
own Fedora now, or start getting ready to switch back to openBSD on
my PPC machines.
Instead of abandoning Linux, have you considered keeping your life
simple by using a Linux distribution with PPC support? Debian[1] has
supported PPC[2] for years.
This isn't an advocacy post, I'm simply pointing out that there are
Linux based alternatives to the issue you're facing.

Perhaps it would be better to advocate the Fedora secondary arch for
PowerPC instead:

It's no longer a primary architecture, so its releases tend to lag
behind, but it's still probably what Joel was actually looking for.
