Bit hosting == storage. It's hardware, esssentially. Considering we
have to find storage to archive releases so we can actually manage
to release Fedora 9 for x86, secondary arches *do* add a bit of a
crunch here.

You stated that your major concern with getting Fedora for ia64 up was
RHEL 6. Apologies if I misinterpreted that.
