There is an ongoing conversation about what makes a SIG content be CentOS Linux branded and what makes it CentOS AltArch Branded, and hopefully in the coming months we can get a tangible plan in place to facilitate migration. This is also why I've tried to stay away from the idea of a secondary arch or a primary arch. Every build should be able to flourish on its own merits, we just need to communicate to the user base what that implies. >> The plan is to open rsync for these targets as wide as possible, to >> allow anyone wanting to opt into these to grab it from us.
