Hi all,
We seem to have issue with an IBM Power 8 used within CI and so we have to re-balance CI nodes that you can request through Duffy API for ppc64/ppc64le.
My question sounds more like a survey : I think that most (if not all) CI projects actually still building (and testing in CI) just target the ppc64le architecture (Little Endian) and so not the ppc64 (Big Endian) one.
We'd like to hear from you and depending on the needs, we can eventually drop ppc64 architecture for CI tests, and so have more (re-balanced) ppc64le resources .
Opinions ?

As we recently started to suffer from hardware issue for availability , we're considering removing ppc64 from the supported architectures through Duffy within CI.
