With the current efforts under way with aarch64 and ppc64le, I would like to suggest that s390x also be added as an alternative architecture. Obviously hardware would be the biggest obstacle, but I do not see any reason why we couldn't get started with just emulated hardware.
First thing we would need to get going is the distro bootstrap - given that 7.x is now almost 3 years in - we will need to go back to the pre release beta and bootstrap up from there.
That also means we will need the corresponding fedora bits - which should be available.
Once we have that in place, we'll need to workout how best to get this supported in cbs.centos.org, before moving to ci.centos.org support.
I'd expected this to be quite a major commitment from someone over a couple of months, given that hardware to back this in emulated mode wont be a huge problem - it just wont be quick.
