XP900, XP1000 and all the DS??, ES??, (supported) GS*, CS20, and UP????
are EV6x :)

Well... not necessarily. It might also work if you'd just offer
pre-compiled EV56/PC56/EV6/EV67 packages where it makes sense. I am not
really sure to which extent Fedora supports such a split-up. Debian's
meta-packaging handles these corner cases pretty straight forward.
