Hi Jeffrey,

Can you elaborate on this ? Myself currently not aware of any hardware
coming to either CentOS Stream build infra (internal) nor for SIGs (so
behind cbs.centos.org) WRT RISC-V .. :)

Or is your idea/proposal just to start a SIG about discussing what would
be eventually needed (either for Stream and in parallel for SIGs) and
come with a plan ?
