Well, both ppc64 and ppc64le will be built/worked on in parallel, and
there is now enough "horse power" to make that happen :-)
Bootstrapping the initial buildroot for both is the most difficult
part, and where people will have to spend time for "manual" mock
build. After that, a simple queuing system can distribute the build
jobs on multiple mock builders (like plague, koji or reimzul - centos
buildsystem - )
