Is there a possibility to keep older hardware supported as well, maybe with some kind of "CentOS plus Kernel"?

RHEL 7 dropped support for Power6 and Power5, while Fedora still runs on them. Pretty decent hardware.

Atleast the noarch rpms should be ok :) for the binary ones, I think we might need to rebuild a bunch ( if not all ? ), down to the mtune and optimisation flags being set in the rpm macros.

Something to trial and see how it goes, I dont think it would be a huge overhead once the initial bootstrap is done.
